This imposes two, formal requirements for Standards Track that are
dramatically higher barriers than is typical for IETF Standards Track

What is the justification for this deviation from IETF norm?
And, obviously, if it is reasonable here, why is is not universally
reasonable, as a basic barrier for all specifications going on Standards
Track?
