Dear Rich: Thank you for your feedback.  Indeed, yes, we do.  But as I
replied in my earlier email, these additional resources are all but hidden
to those who know the IETF way.  Query your average developer in a company
and chances are good that they will not know how to navigate through the
IETF ecosystem to get to what they would like to have.

Cheers,
