I’m not a big fan of including “to implement this specification, you must read it, and all the other specifications that might be relevant for your application” with every RFC.

Well, that is a bogeyman; there is nothing that the WG got wrong here that calls for an errata report.

Now that we are done with “warnings”, I still believe this inclusion is not usable without saying what the cwt is supposed to *do*, its “semantics".  So saying something like »“typ” or another header field needs to supply the semantics for this syntactical device« seems necessary.  (*Good design* would then be to include the cwt-in-headers with the field that defines its semantics, but that is not *necessary*.  It may come in helpful when you suddenly need two of them, with different semantics.)

Grüße, Carsten
