Rich,

	That's an interesting question. The usual case is that a new IETF specification obsoletes an old one. Can a non-IETF specification obsolete an IETF specification? It's fairly certain that IEEE 802.11-2024 will not contain a statement saying, "Obsoletes RFC 8110". I don't think an erratum quite covers this case. What would it's disposition be? "Hold for document update"? ;-)

	At the current time, I'm not aware that IEEE 802.11-2024 will change OWE, so it may be a straight transfer of the text or something close to it. Nothing is really obsoleted then in RFC 8110. This is more about transferring the future evolution of and responsibility for the text of RFC 8110 to IEEE.

You mean that 8110 would be obsoleted by the IEEE doc? Do we mark that somehow in the errata or something?
