I support all your suggestions (i.e. point 1 and 2, and nits i and ii
) , and hope that iesg, and editor agrees, and that the community
considers them for progress. I seen the change in the
draft-document-03 which I think getting better but still not satisfied

The new vesion 3 draft (dated 5 July) does not include all your
suggestion, please read and comment on draft-03 (the subject refers to
draft-02, did you read draft-03?).

> separate that material, into either separate documents or into a
> brief core document that focuses of the three questions of "what

> update procedure" and an appendix that includes whatever else is
> determined to be necessary.  In that regard, the abstract of the
> core (or only) document should not concentrate on when
