Late here sorry so just on this for now - that was discussed on the
saag list. From that and from chats with folks the main argument for
doing this in-place was that the text is considered good enough as-is
and a belief that we'd not do much better despite what'd likely be a
long and likely fractious discussion of the kind I guess you are
arguing would be better.

The RFC number was less of a deal, really, for almost everyone I
think.
