I have to say I don't really agree with you. ISATAP is implemented in
multiple instances (Windows, routers, etc.). Thus, I would say there should
be enough support to make the document Proposed Standard.
I think the question is if it is worth the trouble at this point. And is
there some protocol evolution needed based on the practical experiences with
the protocol. You and me cannot answer that. I think the people shipping the
products can.
I also would like to know is the "ISATAP" in the products the same as the
"ISATAP" in RFC4214? If ISATAP != ISATAP it would really be worth while
updating the document and bring the deployed ISATAP to PS.

Perhaps "number of months" sounds a bit harsh - however, even with a
sponsoring AD there needs to be community review of the document.
Cheers,
