I've read the document a couple of times, and it appears to me
to be reasonably accurate.

I, too, would prefer to see an update to 2026 that brings it into
conformance to current practice.  However, Eliot's draft goes well
beyond that by proposing substantive changes to current practice,
and those proposed changes seem to be quite controversial.

In the absence of an update proposal that has community consensus,
I think it would be useful to have a description of how 2026 diverges
from current practice.  So I would encourage Brian to attempt to
publish draft-carpenter-rfc2026-critique-02.txt as an information RFC.
