It's perhaps worth noting that this is a "preliminary specification" and an extension of HLS. HLS itself is an IETF standard (well - an "Internet Draft"): https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming...

It is not an IETF standard - those have RFC numbers. It is just a personal draft - any IETF member can upload one of those, regardless if it's useful. I'm happy that it has a specification - but it's just a one-man project, not something that has gone through the IETF standards process.
A couple of years ago it finally was published as an RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8216
