I still believe so, yes.

L2TP seems sufficient.  Or if the ISP is worried about Windows 
clients, it can always run Teredo in tunnel server mode (provided that 
a reasonable server implementation exists), as that client is already 
supported and deployed.

...

Of course, I think it would probably be a good idea for the TSP 
authors to submit the draft as informational through RFC-editor to 
document the protocol, but IMHO if we're just looking at TSP, L2TP and 
"cleaned up TSP", I don't think it makes sense to spend energy in 
spinning up a WG in cleaning up TSP.

IMHO, with an informational spec and deployed code, the market can 
already decide between the two if it comes to that.
