FWIW, I know of three other IS-IS open-source implementations:
* Holo (Rust): https://github.com/holo-routing/holo
* Bio-Routing (Go): https://github.com/bio-routing/bio-rd
* freeRtr (Java): https://github.com/mc36/freeRtr

(which is still a work in progress), I don't think there's a problem
of underspecification. I personally found all RFCs and the ISO
standard to be very precise and well written.

Renato.
