Based on the contents of: http://www.rfc-editor.org/queue.html The document draft-ietf-nfsv4-07.txt is in the "EDIT" stage. I believe that it has received IANA review. The document is at the top of the editor's queue but based on the size of the document and other unknown factors it is difficult to tell when the final 48 hour author edit period will be done. In general it takes time to get these documents out. Certainly with 230+ pages it will take additional time for editing review, etc. I imagine that 1) will happen before 2). -- - Spencer -
