For those interested in what has changed in this draft by comparison to the specification of iSER in RFC 5046, here's a reasonably readable diff that shows the text changes: http://www.stiemerling.org/ietf/storm-review/diff-rfc5046-to-iser.html and the edited version of RFC 5046 on which this was based http://www.stiemerling.org/ietf/storm-review/rfc5046-edited.txt All of the content of RFC 5046 is preserved in that version, but the changes to improve the diff include swapping the order of sections 1 and 2 in order to match the storm-iser draft, and taking out page gutters that confuse the IETF diff tool. And many thanks to our AD (Martin Stiemerling) for hosting this on his web site.
