Oh, I have no doubt that they're using it, and that users will want a
feature like this.  I was only pointing out that the submission comment
was slightly inaccurate.  There is, as far as I know, no published RFC
describing this protocol.

The document you're citing is an Internet-Draft, not an RFC.  There's no
such thing as an "RFC draft."

The difference is important to folks in the IETF (at least).  An RFC
goes through a documented review and acceptance process and never
expires.  An I-D is a temporary document that has no necessary review
whatsoever and expires after a few months.  It's not correct to refer to
an I-D as any sort of RFC.
