Sorry, but this statement is completely wrong and misleading.
According to datatracker this draft has been expired since October,
there's been no discussion on it in IETF, and this has not gone to
IESG. You cannot say this is an IETF standard nor that it is about to
be published as one.  See
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-davie-stt/ and please read the
Internet Standards process in RFC2026.

I suggest that you update the draft and post it on both nvo3 and tsvwg
so there can be some real discussion on the implications of
repurposing an IP protocol number and breaking TCP protocol standards.
