COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

At first I was puzzled by the move from Specification Required to RFC Required,
until I looked in RFC 8209 at this:

   Values from "Specification Required" ranges MUST be registered with
   IANA.  The request MUST be made via an RFC that describes the format
   and procedures for using the code point; the actual assignment is
   made during the IANA actions for the RFC.

In other words, it's really always been RFC Required, but specified in an odd
way and with a designated expert looking at it.

So, yes, this is a useful cleanup and clarification, and thanks for doing this.
 And, as you have in the Acknowledgments, thanks to Michelle for working with
you to make sure this came out right.
