I believe the current document is fine for a major part of the IETF standards activities.

It is, however, important to keep in mind that the IETF is not a homogeneous organization, not even within each of the quite different areas.  Section 4 seems to try to open up the straightjacket created by section 3 a little bit again, but the way it does this is probably the wrong approach.

Instead of writing a long diatribe here, let me just point to section 2.7 of https://www.iab.org/wp-content/IAB-uploads/2011/04/Bormann.pdf (see the references to the other sections there, too).

Grüße, Carsten
