As far as I understand, I can no longer take RFC 4398, fix some minor problem, and re-submit it as a RFC 4398bis. Even though I was editor of RFC 4398. The reason is that some material in that document was written by others. At least, I cannot do this, without getting permission from the other people who wrote the initial document. I wish this is mistaken and that someone can explain how to reconcile this example with what Russ wrote.
Correct. RFC 5378 imposes this burden on the contributor. All of the rights needed to make updates to the document within the IETF Standards Process are clearly already available, but the contributor is required to obtain the additional rights that are required by RFC 5378.
