Would recommend against implementing anything in a draft RFC.
Things can change. Learned the hard way when doing VXLAN driver for Linux.
The hardcoded port value in the Linux VXLAN driver is wrong because it matched
the draft RFC (got changed in final version). Because of strict compatibility
requirements the Linux driver could not be changed to the correct value.
