That was expedited. Better example is iSCSI. Draft-20 was approved Feb
2003 [http://www.ietf.org/IESG/Announcements/draft-ietf-ips-iscsi.ann] but
published as RFC3720 in April 2004, for a lag time of 14 months.

I have no knowledge of this process and maybe there were a lot of changes
needed or something, but for a whole year there were vendors releasing
products marketed as conformant with "draft 20"
