[AFS3-std] Submitting a draft RFC as Experimental

To be practical I would say for the moment the important message is that we had 
a community consensus about accepting draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names-07 
so that someone can start to work on this base.

Of course, it would be nice to get our accepted standardizations published one 
day, but Derrick's draft will stay on the IETF page until June 2 (when it 
expires). So there is still much time to find a solution for the final place 
where to store those things!
