Predictably, the draft has prompted quite a few postings that seem to be intent on re-inventing a core portion of the IETF documentation mechanism.
Folks should remember that this is a system that has been functioning quite well for some decades and I am not aware of any recent emergencies that justify starting over or making major changes.
The policy when seeking to change an established, essential, well-running systems is to make as /few/ changes as possible, not as /many/...
Ideally, this means making no changes at all, of course. That is, any proposal for a change MUST explain why the change is /essential/.
