I attempted to retrieve draft-seantek-certspec-03, but it seems to not
be accessible through the FTP and rsync servers.

If I look up the draft, I can see it in my browser:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-seantek-certspec/

But the rsync command to fetch all the active I-Ds does not get it:

    $ rsync -az --ignore-existing ftp.rfc-editor.org::internet-drafts ./internet-drafts
    $ ll internet-drafts/draft-seantek-certspec*
    ls: cannot access internet-drafts/draft-seantek-certspec*: No such file or directory
    $ 

And I cannot see it in the FTP server either:

    $ ftp ftp.rfc-editor.org
