There is an alternate protocol, BFD, which achieves the same thing:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-katz-ward-bfd-02.txt

It's dated May 2004, and won't expire until November.

I suspect BFD has 'won' over MARP, based on the number of other I-D's 
which uses BFD as a foundation, e.g.:

draft-ietf-bfd-mpls-00.txt
