Running code, take 2

[Yaron Sheffer <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I have just published a draft that proposes an alternative to Stephen's 
"fast track". My proposal simply allows authors to document, in a 
semi-standard way, whatever implementations exist for their protocol, as 
well as their interoperability.

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-sheffer-running-code-00.txt

I believe this can achieve the same goal, which is to apply preferred 
treatment to protocols that have been implemented, and with a lot less 
process overhead. It also leaves much more leeway for individual working 
groups to apply their own procedures and customs.

Similarly to Stephen's proposal, we can use a process experiment (per 
RFC 3933) to gauge the effectiveness of this one.

I am looking forward to comments and discussion on this list.
