Perhaps it would. And all other things being
equal, a simpler fix is
attractive. But I don't know why others seem to
insist on "professional".
The reason mybe that it is thought that only
who authors an RFC is professional.
As years while checking in IETF context, it is
seen some new people IETF motivation can be heard
that 'you should write an RFC', but maybe a better
motivation is 'you should work/discuss with one WG
together regarding one milestone for progress.
If the word 'professional' makes confusion it
is better to change it, or define it in the
document.
I totally agree with the definition give by
Keith, which is in the beginning of thread, so
please add it to the draft.
Is that really true, though? We certainly have a lot of
protocols, written by amateurs - some of which have
ignored RFCs and led to their own standards processes.
Are there not RFCs similarly written by folks with limited
experience? Or is it that "unprofessional" RFCs don't
make it past the RFC editorial process?
It is true. We all know what we have and what we don't
have, but we always want/need better.

Might I ask what "it" you're referring to?

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works but no one knows why.

We only find truth by good discussions and respecting
each other, because God is truth and he only guides to the
truth.
