There is a sentence there saying that a lot of RFCs are updated and to see the updates header so I think under the 7322 to balance concise and to not include references I’m thinking this is okay.

Can do:

OLD:

  The instructions in this document add a Recommended column to many of the

NEW:

  The instructions in this document add a Recommended column with a value
  of YES or NO to many of the (D)TLS registries
