It is an IETF RFC, for whatever that is worth these days. I guess it will take 15 years to reach the masses fully, if at all. During which time a less complicated, future compatible and generally technically superior solution could have been deployed instead. O well. Fortunately, better solutions can be introduced in parallel so we can move to them when the times come.
