Thanks Bob for pointing to the "real" ongoing specification of OPAQUE in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-irtf-cfrg-opaque-03
and its careful specification of OPAQUE-3DH, including test vectors (and
sorry Scott for the typos in the other draft).
draft-irtf-cfrg-opaque is still work in process and comments on it are
welcome. It is intended as a standalone specification of OPAQUE.

In contrast, draft-sullivan-tls-opaque-01 is a very preliminary document to
show ways in which OPAQUE can be combined within and transported by TLS
1.3, e.g., using the exported authentication mechanisms from
draft-ietf-tls-exported-authenticator. It will be developed into a
document  compatible with the definition of OPAQUE in
draft-irtf-cfrg-opaque.
