If you go back and review the mail thread you will find that the=20
objection
was given to this list months after consensus was already obtained.
That is the cost of failing to review documents in a timely fashion.
This group can decided to revise the standard but it would be a new
document.

The Internet Draft is not a published document.  I seem to remember that
one of the chairs at the time was going to develop a web site to publish
pointers to documents and their status much as each IETF working group
has.  Unfortunately, such a page was never created.

I might add that the blocking issue for an OpenAFS implementation
of draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names is the need for changes to
Ubik as discussed at the last hackathon held in Pittsburgh last year.
