Joe,

The latter. The following is text from the draft:

" This document specifies GRE procedures for IPv6, used as either the
    payload or delivery protocol.  It updates RFC 2784 [RFC2784].  Like
    RFC 2784, this specification describes GRE how has been implemented
    by several vendors."

You are asking for Proposed Standards status. That goes beyond documenting
just "what is", and specifies once and for all "what will forever be".

This document will forever be "what is currently commonly used".

We've been around the block on "let's describe what SHOULD be, but isn't deployed". While I agree that's important, that is not the function of this document.

Joe
