2821/2822 are "Proposed Standards" and have been out for 1.5 years now. 
What will it take to move them forward to Draft Standard? We've had 
considerably longer than 1.5 years to get operational experience with 
them, and I KNOW that there are lots of interoperational instances of each.

P.S. If 2821 and 2822 need to be reissued, it might also be nice if they 
could be done in time to get the numbers 3821 and 3822. My estimate is 
that those numbers will be reached in about 23 months. That should give 
us enough time to work on them, if we started now. :-)
