Re: I-D Action: draft-roach-bis-documents-00.txt

Hi,

This seems reasonable. I'm not even sure it needs to be a BCP, since as far as I can see it doesn't introduce any new process rules. I'm also not sure it should be treated as mandatory, because each case is special.

However...

It doesn't help to clarify what the "Updates:" tag means (it only mentions "Obsoletes:") and it doesn't discuss how protocol extensions should be labelled. Should they carry the "Updates:" tag? Or should we ask the RFC Editor for a new "Extends:" tag, and "Extended by:"?

Regards
   Brian
