But suppose the document were changed so that rather than "updating" the document as you suggest, it simply referenced the sections in question and then made the SHOULDs into MUSTs that way?   Wouldn't that mean "implementations of this extension MUST," and wouldn't that be perfectly reasonable?

In my view this document needs to stay on Standards track, and it should be made clear that it is an (optional) extension to RFC3315. This allows people who have implemented encryption for server-relay communications to claim compliance to RFC3315 and this document. For RFC3315bis, I think it should be discussed in the WG whether to mandate encryption or not as there are backward compatibility related considerations to be made.

I guess that works for me. In this case IMHO *-dhc-relay-server-security-* would be more of a profile for RFC3315 IPsec based security. I would find that useful.

Can you explain what is the real difference between extends vs. updates?
