You have been told several times, by CFRG participants and others, that if someone implements a draft. For example, see https://www.ietf.org/standards/ids/ . In particular: “Internet-drafts have no formal status, and are subject to change or removal at any time.”
You cannot pressure authors to update a draft because some people have deployed it in production and there is a bug.
In particular, your note refers to the draft several times as a “standard” and you call them “RFC authors.” Both of those are incorrect. It is a draft, not an RFC, and not a standard.
I appreciate your clarification on the terminology but if you search https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/cfrg/?q=standard or https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/cfrg/?q=rfc, thousands of results show up.
