Or, of course, we could ask for a Last Call and retroactively
reclassify RFC 1591 as a BCP. Because there was not even a
serious attempt to solicit or identify community consensus
around the variations that ICANN's ICP-1 introduced into the RFC
1591 norms and definitions, and a large fraction of top-level
domains and others have declined to accept the ICANN version,
1591 probably still does represent a best practice consensus in
most respects.
