Note this isn't a standards-track document; it's Experimental.

Per RFC 2026, Sec. 4.2:
   Not every specification is on the standards track. [...]
   Specifications that are not on the standards track are labeled with
   one of three "off-track" maturity levels: "Experimental",
   "Informational", or "Historic". [...]
   The "Experimental" designation typically denotes a specification that
   is part of some research or development effort. Such a specification
   is published for the general information of the Internet technical
   community and as an archival record of the work, subject only to
   editorial considerations and to verification that there has been
   adequate coordination with the standards process (see below).
