The real question we should be discussing is what options the IETF has to try
and address this.
IETF has already adequately addressed this issue by its insistence on inclusion of this statement in the document preamble:
It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."
An implementation based on I-D reference material is therefore no better than "work in progress".
The blame for this debacle lies squarely with Yahoo, and its inadequate engineering change management.
