Les,


> So you are suggesting that we publish something that was never actually published as an RFC as a "historic RFC"?


Yes, I see no point in being indirect.  It used to be that the path to publication was brief. We’ve now ossified to the point where a technology can go through an entire life-cycle before we act.  


> But I thought the intent of Acee's question was to see if publishing this as Experimental serves a useful purpose i.e., even if the feature is not being actively deployed the protocol extensions seem like they could be useful someday and we would prefer not to have them disappear from the official protocol definition.

And the code points are allocated and the code has shipped, so publishing something makes sense. Arguing about its status doesn’t.
