On the Sec 3.2 point, I think Olaf is getting somewhere in his reply: make this the definitive source, which should eliminate the issue of duplication and also merge in the 6410 stuff.  I'll work up text on the plane (en route to EWR now.

I largely agree with what Barry is saying. Additional review is always helpful, but I'm pessimistic about getting relevant additional review. And I'm mostly thinking of the kind of people where this work started from; folk who would have a problem using RFCs as reference standards in, say, government procurement, but would happily go on using their computers with all kinds of Internet technology in them after speaking :-) I think the crux of the matter is to get our own house in order and be consistent between reality and our description of the IETF process. And this is what we're doing.

FWIW, my personal opinions on content:

I am happy with the 3.2 as it stands, but also happy with Barry's suggested "by-reference" formulation.

I agree with Barry's description of why Section 4 is necessary.
