I guess the question is what "finished" means.  Is there anything in the draft 
that is incorrect or needs expansion?

Note that the current draft is for an Informational RFC, rather than a 
standards track one, so (and I don't mean this in a disparaging way), is there 
anything that having an IETF published document enables us to do that we can't 
do by just sticking the protocol document on a web page somewhere?
