I don't think that's an accurate characterization. If I recall correctly - it's been a while - some issues were raised when the draft was presented in the IETF, but they can certainly be overcome with a bit of energy to produce a revision or two.

Hence the question if anyone has this energy. It need not be the folks currently listed as authors, if they are willing to let someone else hold the pen.
