Seems I spoke too soon earlier.  There are several inconsistent status
messages regarding the document.  However, once you sort them all it's
pretty clear what the status is.

The document is being held by the RFC Editor because it has a Normative
reference to a document that has not yet been produced by the IETF.  It
has been in this state for over a year now.

Specifically, LIST-ID: depends on a few grammar definitions that appear
in the Internet Message Format document (revision to RFC822), which is a
product of the DRUMS Working Group.  It is finally due to be released
real-soon-now.

As soon as the DRUMS document is approved for publication, both
documents will probably be published in parallel, if the process
historically executed by the RFC Editor continues.

Enjoy,

Jim
