Those DISCUSS-objections and COMMENT-discussions should have a time-out. After that one or both sides obviously were not interested in a real discussion, or they were, but did not find a solution, and then the DISCUSS should turn into ABSTAIN, and the COMMENT into NO-OBJECTION. It is odd to see a reference to an expired draft in the updated ID-checklist. That apparently expired, because there are three pending DISCUSSes. Now does the IESG see this draft as important enough to reference it in the ID- checklist, and is it simultaneously too controversial to approve it ? Any user considering to write an I-D will look into the Checklist and find this oddity. Like any user interested in e-mail will find the examples in 2821bis, and might arrive at the conclusion that this as it should be, but picking other domains could be more interesting. That is the danger nobody sees here; here all are ready with 2821bis (minus one Last Call for STD), but thousands haven't read it yet. And they'll find any possible absurd interpretation - as it was with (2)822 and (2)821 before. Frank
