let me quickly chime in there, to give some background. If we're  
intending to move iSER forward to Draft/Full Standard, the IESG needs  
to receive an iSER interop report. Features that don't interop (e.g.,  
because they haven't been implemented by a sufficient number of  
stacks) cannot move forward to Draft/Full Standard. So bringing the  
RFC text in line with reality is needed to elevate iSER up the  
Standards Track.
