Sure -- how about something like:
   When an OSPF Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) redistributes a
   prefix from another instance of the OSPF or from some other protocol,
   it SHOULD preserve the ELC signaling for the prefix.
  **In addition ASBRs should allow the
  ELC signaling for the prefix to be preserved when redistributing
to another instance of OSPF or to some other protocol**

(Addition in asterisks).
Note that this is just a suggestion / not a hill I care to die on -- as an
ops person, when I read "you should be able to preserve X when importing
into Y", I automatically start wondering how / if I can preserve X when
exporting from Y.

But, 'm also fine if y'all don't want to address this,

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in
the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of
pants.
