See the reference quoted. And you've been an RFC author, you've
been through it.

The text concentrates on editorial stuff (getting references right,
that sort of thing). And my experience was largely about grammar,
punctuation and capitalisation (lots of that one). But as I read
it technical errors would probably be in scope. But rewriting the
recommendations is definitely not if I am any judge at all.

Could you positively say what an AUTH48 _does_ cover?

I understand what it does _not_ cover.

I also understand that 48hours is _not_ the point.
