Hi Jeffrey,

The authors have used two independent implementations to verify the test
vectors; I have done some additional verification and Greg has done some
different verification as well.

The last I checked, two interoperable implementations was a requirement
for full Internet Standard, and not required even for Proposed Standard
documents, let alone the Information status this document claims to be
targetting. Could you say a bit more about why you feel the situation is
different here?
