The IETF still has a three stage track, it's just that the first stage is Internet-Drafts, which amounts to our Experimental. A lot of this shift, looking back on it, was driven by the lack of in-situ updates to documents once they'd hit RFC status, which doesn't affect us. It's also why I have resisted adding pre-XEP stages... Dave.
