I only gave the reference to cable draft to show which one it was.  I
wasn't saying to use it for DSL.

So please fix the draft to say it's Informational.

In general, if DSL needs IETF help, be prepared to have your DSL
standards take a long time.  IETF deals with more generalized devices
and their process can more lengthy than a focused cable standards or DSL
standards body.  I would rather DSL gets experts from routing and
general data networking product companies and also get folks who know
IPv6 cold to work in the DSL Forum directly.  Cable added IPv6 to its
docsis 3.0 standards because we had router and IPv6 folks from Cisco and
Juniper involved in the standards, also cable savvy folks from Cisco,
and DHCPv6 experts like Ralph Droms and Bernie Volz.  That is how
specific deployment standards get done.

Anyhow, your document is not even ready to be picked up by any IETF WG
right now.
