Ah. No, in 2026, BCPs cannot be Standards-Track and Standards-Track 
documents cannot be BCPs. They are mutually exclusive categories.

The problem is that there are some things that we've been making BCPs 
(i.e., AS documents) that I think would be better served by being 
Standards-Track. The experiment is (for future documents of this sort) 
that we try Standards-Track instead of BCP for ASs.
