We had a short discussion about this in pppext.

The gist was: The document is pretty bad (partly because things were 
murky in 1994, but also because it was written by Martians that had no 
space ship to take them to the ISDN planet), but some parts of it do 
describe what currently shipping, actively marketed products do (and 
should do) in this domain.
Having done some ISDN work in the late 80s/early 90s, I all but 
volunteered during this discussion to do a DS version of the thing 
(probably by striking 80 % of the text and rewriting the rest).
If this is what it takes to keep an active standards-track 
specification about IP over ISDN, I'll do that tiny amount of work.
Or we could leave it where it is.
