We should include Megan (and colleagues? I have no idea about how the RFC 
Editor team is set up) too, her / their work was nothing short of amazing!  
These lists of terms to capitalize, and of possible candidates for the <tt> 
style… a crazy amount of work to produce them!   (let alone our many, many 
queries and suggestions).

More seriously, perhaps we could indeed try to get together at one of the 
upcoming IETFs (I’ll probably not be in Bangkok, but perhaps Madrid) to jointly 
celebrate the end of this (yes, including RFC editor staff) ?  Not only would 
it be a celebration, but we could also chat a little bit about what we could do 
in terms of deployment.

I think the Transport Services effort is a little different from other 
standards in this regard. It’s easy to get a negative perception of it because 
in other cases, implementations tend to pop up long *before* the standard is 
finished (QUIC is the prime example here); with the (fantastic!) exception of 
Apple, that hasn’t happened for TAPS at all.  However, since this is the API 
that’s exposed to applications, implementations at a significant scale are 
better off waiting until the standard is finished. Imagine rolling out a full 
Transport Services API at large scale, and then having to say “ah, sorry, all 
you application coders, we had to take feature X out and change how feature Y 
is represented because that was the IETF consensus”.

Cheers,
Michael
