Having watched it on the mic, I can't remember the statement on the mic or how 
it was phrased right now - but I do remember that Naeem's answer was about 
covering other protocols than just SCTP and TCP. In the minutes here it looks 
different.

This is wrong, it's not what was presented. Stein said that document 2 should 
be **based upon** draft-welzl-taps-transport because this explains the "how", 
not the "what" (which is addressed by draft-ietf-taps-transports).
