I guess that was me.

We did discuss at the time of RFC8504 making the draft a “living document” with periodic RFC publications.  Perhaps we should have done that.  

If the WG feels it’s timely, I’d be happy to help pull another update together.  I’ve explicitly copied TimW and John.  And maybe this time we could GitHub it and keep an up-to-date md draft, something to consider.

Best wishes,
Tim
