Gail,
I agree with you that there seems to be more interest than I had expected.
Sometimes it takes rather long for implementors to react. Nobody would be
more happy to than me to see those drafts finalized and published as RFCs,
considering the amount of effort that we all put into discussing and
drafting what we now have in the past.
I would also hope that Michael Sweet could spare a bit of time to get the
technical content correct as I am sure he will have to look more closely at
the specs before implementing them.
Maybe there is somebody else that can take on the editing task. Looking at
the comments from the AD it doesn't seem like an unsurmountable task. The
more severe comments are against the management draft, for which I so far
haven't seen anybody pledge to get that sorted out.
If nobody else steps up to it, I migth even volonteer to do it myself, but I
couldn't even start on it until mid-April, when I am back from a trip to
Japan. Also, it is usually viewed with quite a bit of suspicion in the IETF
to have the WG Chair also be the Editor.
I will be leaving the US on Saturday morning and may not be able to get to
my email for 3 weeks after that. Also, don't be surprised to get error
messages back stating that my mailbox is full during that period.
Don't let that stop you from discussing this subject to your hearts content
on the DL while I am away...
