I'd opt for "better standard" instead of "better status" if these choices are in conflict. The 2821bis / 2822upd procedure is somewhat odd, first John insisted on doing this simultaneously, and I thought that's not necessary. Now I think he was always right, but what we really do is out of sync: Likely 2822upd will pull NO-WS-CTL, or move it to its "obs" chapter. But the 2821bis in Last Call has a normative reference to 2822, not 2822upd, and so it inherits obscure NO-WS-CTL not limited to (non-existing) domain literals, it also has cruft like DEL and horrors like NUL in a few places. Originally (2005) John also proposed to do the revision in a WG, I'm more and more convinced that he was right.
