I note that CCIDs 248-254 are reserved for experimental use, so there's not an 
immediate need to publish a WG document here either, if the intent is to enable 
experimentation.

We'd also need to bake MulTFRC for a bit. We did find a number of issues with 
RFC3448 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5348#section-9) that we fixed in RFC5348 
five years later, and those again lead to changes in the CCIDs. We'd be signing 
up to do quite a bit of analysis and experimentation if we want to get MulTFRC 
and its CCID similarly stable.

Yes, it could fit under the current "modular extensions to DCCP" work item.

The key question, as always, is: does the community have the interest and 
energy to actively develop MulTFRC and add a CCID for it to DCCP?

Which is why I was hoping to declare victory and close it sooner rather than 
later...
