Julian, My understanding of the goal in draft-roach-bis-documents is to make the bis RFC as close to the original as possible, including formatting (modulo changes resulting from tooling changes), so that you don't need linking or to look in multiple places.
Yes. But...
This would include a complete view of all IANA actions related to the protocol in one place. draft-roach wants to completely replace the original RFC with the bis, not just update it
I still don't get why past IANA actions are of any relevance for an updated specification. And yes, I understand that this is about replacing (obsoleting) a document, not simply updating it. There may be cases where it's as simple as that (RFC X replaced by RFC Xbis), but in my experience, there are frequently other RFCs published in between that indeed updated the original RFC and had their own IANA actions - so just having those from X and Xbis does not give a complete picture.
