Mikael,

Hat on as a member of (not a spokesperson for) the Independent
Stream Editorial Board, and intentionally *not* answering Suresh's

RFCs in the Independent stream are always Informational.

The RFC Editor fixes such references.

Good catch. Tell the author and I'm sure he'll fix it.

No it doesn't, because that option is conditioned by "this document extends
an IETF protocol", which it clearly doesn't.

6man already declined to publish this draft, so essentially it's nothing to
do with the IETF any more. I'm sure the author would still appreciate constructive
comments at this stage, but the document belongs to the Independent stream,
which is, er, independent.
