Multiple drafts were rejected for reasons the author didn't agree with (e.g. draft spec had to be submitted by splitting the text among multiple echomail messages, per stone-age FTSC submission requirements). So he gave up the effort and the FTSC discarded a rare high-quality technical contribution. Or at least, that's my recollection.
