The draft says "Intended status: Standards Track", what's 
correct ?  RFC 3406 states:  "The RFC need not be standards-
track".  

Is the fourth paragraph in the introduction from "Every" up
to "withdrawn" supposed to reflect an IETF consensus ?  It
talks about "democratic framework", "consensus", and similar
magic words.

The ABNF doesn't pass validation, <comment> can't be folded,
just add ";" in front of folded lines.  And there can't be
no <elements> at all in a rule, proposed fix:

-| techelement   = ; unspecified
-|
-| isodefined    = ; unspecified

+| techelement   = <unspecified>
+|
+| isodefined    = <unspecified>

It would be interesting to see the URNs for the "normative
references" [ISODIR-1], [ISODIR-2], [ISODIR-S], and
[ISOGUIDE69] in action, together with a corresponding URI.

BTW, ISO Guide 69:1999, 8 pages available as PDF for 56 CHF.
I don't find the normative "directives" immediately.
