Not sure what the right timeline for this is, but at some point this should happen.

For the timeline, BIP 321 should probably be Proposed or Final.

Okay, went ahead and marked 321 as Proposed as well.

CI happy now.

Per BIP 2, "A BIP may only change status from Draft (or Rejected) to Proposed, when the author deems it is complete, has a working implementation (where applicable), and has community plans progress it to the Final status."

BIP21 implementations are BIP321-compliant, but is there a working 321-specific implementation, can add a Reference Implementation section to BIP 321?

@TheBlueMatt Is there a BIP 321 reference implementation you would suggest?
