I suggest replacing "This document replaces the "hold on normative reference" rule will be replaced by a "note downward normative reference and move on" approach. RFC 3967 is also updated to encourage annotations to be added when that procedure is applied." with "This document describes a simpler procedure for downward references to Standards track and BCP documents, namely "note and move on". The procedure in RFC3967 still applies for downward references to other classes of document. In both cases, annotations should be added to such References."
