Drafts are drafts, and nothing more, aren't they?
Drafts are drafts. Even most RFCs are RFCs and nothing more. Only a handful have ever been designated as "Standards". I hope this becomes one of those in the hope it will be taken seriously. (It already is by anyone with a large network running IPv6.)
And none of the listed IETF "full standards" are IPv6 related. That seems a little bit odd to me given that everyone is supposed to have implemented them by now.

IPv4 was much further along in deployment than IPv6 is now when the first IPv4 STDs were published as STDs. Usually RFCs bake for quite a while in the real world before becoming STDs. Owen
