I think incorporating older registrations is the cleaner way of dealing with Ben's & Benjamin's DISCUSSes, as then the document is self contained and there is no need for readers to see obsoleted RFCs. So this would be my preference.

If the WG doesn't want to do this, then the document needs editing to be correct as per Benjamin's DISCUSS.

Best Regards,
Alexey
