Thank you Eric,

I feel we will have to agree to disagree: if developers can not create two
interoperable implementations from a draft/RFC alone, this is not a
complete document. For me, it would be like leaving out the port from the
HTTP protocol.

There may have been "considered reasons" why the draft authors decided to
leave this out, but this does not change the point.
