Hmm, I think the intersection between people knowing what RSVP-TE is, what JSON is, and what RSASSA-PSS is may be smaller than you think.  That bar is a bit high.  I would expect this to be limited to the target group for the specific RFC (which by the way in some cases isn’t “anyone with a significant Internet technical or operational background and experience”).
