Yes there is.  You can sift through the public documents at
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/documents?x_group=000s  (e.g.
http://odysseus.ieee.org/cs.html?charset=iso-8859-1&url=http%3A//mentor.ieee.org/802.11/file/09/11-09-0115-01-000s-proxies-and-portals.doc&qt=url%3Amentor.ieee.org/802.11+||+mesh+portal&col=mentor&n=2&la=en)
Also, you may be able to get a copy of the draft through your academic
institution.  If there is an IEEE 802.11 member there, I believe they
are allowed to share the document internally.

The good news is that draft 3.0 of the 802.11s amendment just passed
letter ballot.  We can at least have some hope that there will be a
public draft sometime soon.

All that was implemented was connecting two subnets at L2 over a mesh.
That is, subnet1 - MPP - mesh - MPP - subnet2
YanBo (cc:) implemented that and we tested it internally.

Cheers,
