Hi, Murray,

(replying here - I think this email is more relevant)

This is helpful.

What we're looking at in this thread is a small number of errors for EBML
(that haven't been entered as errata for the RFC yet), and a change to the
IANA instructions for one of the registries in .
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ebml/ebml.xhtml.

Does that sound OK as an Updates RFC to you?

(depending on the final "diff", of course!)

Best,

Spencer
