I think that the main reason that the list is dead these last 3 weeks is
that there was an IETF meeting about 2 weeks ago now, and everyone is
either wondering what happened (i.e., there isn't much point in reading
the draft if it has been rewritten), or was there, so don't need to
wonder.  And now it's Xmas, so...

It's just unfortunate.  OTOH it's also a result of the bad structural
makeup of the group, but that's a whole other ballgame as they say in
the 'states.
