The BIER WG was initially chartered for Experimental work.  These 
two RFCs were of the quality necessary for Proposed Standard, but 
were published before the WG was rechartered.  The BIER WG is 
now being rechartered to do Standards Track specifications and the 
core of the BIER technology is ready to also be promoted to that status.
