I look at this as saying that the protocol itself is Internet
Standard, but the MTI security part is, for now, Proposed Standard.
That seems like a perfectly sensible situation to me.

(And as to the downref, after the last and n-th round of silliness

97 to make it clear that good judgment in this regard is more
important than ticking process boxes.)
