When a WG agrees to consider a draft it should not be taken as an assurance that the draft will be published as an RFC. Too many WGs work far beyond their chartered deadlines because they haven't finished all of their working drafts - often because those drafts turned out to be bad ideas or not sufficiently well-understood or robust to warrant standardization (or sometimes, even publication).
