Eliot,

I agree with Bob Braden's identification of this particular
document's slipping through the cracks as "shameful" and hope we
can fix it.  But, if one looks at the bottom line, Mike
essentially chose to let it expire, and no one else chose to pick
it up and push for RFC publication.  The shame lies there, not in
issues with the I-D expiration/ archiving process.
