DISCUSS:

This is mainly a process discuss. I share Alvaro's concern about this being
marked as "updating" RFC7601, when it seem like a full replacement. I'm
promoting it to a DISCUSS because I think this needs to be resolved before
publication.

The current structure will make it very difficult for readers to figure out
which parts of each doc they need to worry about. I think it needs to either go
back to "obsoleting" 7601, or it needs to be recast to just talk about the
changes. Note that if the former path is chosen, the IANA considerations in
7601 will need to be copied forward.

I mostly just reviewed the diff. Thank you for mostly avoiding unnecessary
changes. That makes the diff tools much more useful than they are for bis
drafts that make wholesale organization and stylistic changes.
