One issue has been identified and discussed, but as far as I know has
not been resolved.  Consider RFCs 3885 through 3888 produced by the
MSGTRK working group; three of the four are Standards Track at Proposed,
all were published September 2004.  The PS RFCs could have advanced to
Draft as early as March 2005 (six months) but for one problem;
advancement requires that the WG Chair produce documentation on
interoperable implementations.  So why hasn't the MSGTRK WG worked on
advancement to Draft?  Well, there isn't a MSGTRK WG any more (and
therefore no MSGTRK WG Chair); the IESG disbanded it.  Will the IESG
reinstate the WG to advance the three Standards Track RFCs to Draft?
