As lead author of intarea-tunnels, that doc has never been held waiting for a new solution. Quite the contrary - it is complicated by yet another doc to check and include.

It would be useful to indicate whether your doc already follows the recommendations there or not, as a start.

Besides that, the only other thing that would help is someone to have the IESG stop writing “individual” submissions that I need to stop other work to deal with ;-)
