This does not document actual practice, it documents a different fantasy
state where historically we might have been able to skip a step. 

Actual current practice says that the first RFC is effectively full
standard. Nits about documenting usage over time are not really relevant to
anyone except those focused on process. 

We really should get serious about the term 'proposed', and note that the
referenced document is under development. It is not an end state in itself,
just aging on the shelf to meet a process check mark.
