How so? Perhaps you could provide a definition of container format,
beacuse it's not clear to me why the PRECIS specs would have needed to
specify container formats.
They don't need to. The point is that PRECIS is vague (slotted where?)
from one direction, and this draft is also similarly vague.
Since that vagueness seems to be causing confusion, let's try to make
things less vague. See my reply to John just now.

Traditionally in standards development,
Mmm, I've been around the block. I phrased it that way on purpose.
OK.
trying to clarify requirements
is not seen as "harsh" but as part of our job. I offered my previous
message in the spirit of collaboratively getting clear on things.
I'd be happy if all of the PRECIS text was deleted from this draft, but
I don't object to it. I don't see this document causing harm. Worst
case, it will be ignored.
And we might be headed in that direction, if indeed this document is
trying to solve a different class of problems than what we addressed in
the IDNA/PRECIS specs. Again, see my most recent reply to John.
