>> I think the document is very useful. The fact that there are so many popular implementations out there that get this kind of thing wrong shows a need for good documentation. This draft explains the problem, says clearly what needs to be done, and describes good and practical algorithms. And there's a survey of current implementations as a bonus in the appendix. This is exactly the kind of good quality information that the IETF needs to provide.
