My thinking was that this does not define any new process and doesn't even
recommend their use. It just makes sure people remember the options exist.

Barry seems to think "not a BCP" as well.

Maybe we leave this to the IESG?

I am not sure the URLs must be permanent. Sure we would like them to be "stable"
but the RFC Editor seems to say that a URL is acceptable where no better
reference can be found. Additionally, this is "only" an Informative reference.

Can we leave this, and fix it if the RFC Editor complains?

This is largely stylistic and a lot of stuff is said about split infinitives.
Here I intended to stress clarity not understanding.
I am sure the RFC Editor will apply house style.

Thanks,
