YFS have a deployed implementation, which does run on an alternate service ID. 
We decided to implement support for alternate service-IDs specifically so that 
we could work around a slow and unpredictable standardisation process. Of 
course, this does mean that we have implementation experience of the drafts as 
they currently stand - we obviously can't provide the benefits of this 
experience to discussions of bits that get modified.

Cheers,
