It means that Patrik has written an Internet-Draft. :-) The document
needs to gain consensus and be approved before we can say that the IETF
has made a decision. 

The draft is written as a response to the IAB removing their objection to Unicode 7.0.0; this was conditional to an RFC being created that describes the way forward. As the designated expert, Patrik is working on fulfilling that condition.

Furthermore, approval of this document would mean
that one alignment issue has been solved, but as far as I can see others
would remain.

Peter, Could you specify which other issues you see here?

There are a a few issues that IETF and Unicode do not quite see eye-to-eye on, but this document attempts to cover all of them that are relevant to using the IDNA algorithm for Unicode 7.0.0 to 11.0.0

Or does it mean that an exercise is required by the IETF every time
there’s a new release from Unicode?

Not that, by my reading.

Agreed,

A./
