Hi Arjuna, No, the draft is not active. As stated in the draft, its purpose was to "at least stimulate some new thinking on the subject" and I think it was successful at that. Some aspects of the algorithm, especially the fact that it doesn't use slow start, met with significant resistance from the community (well, mostly from Sally, but I think she was right about the problems). Since then I have had many ideas for improving the algorithm, but have not created a new draft because I felt it'd be more useful to have some simulations, and I haven't had the time to do that. If you're interested in pursuing this somehow, let me know and we'll see what we can do...
