I don't agree, several IETF protocols that I've implemented while still drafts have had major design changes done them because of an implementation exposed serious flaws in them (secsh-gss, pk-init). There are also specifications that would have been good to have implementations before leaving the WG, because they are not implemented-able as is (spkm). Love
