Of course, all of it is up for review even in draft form as is IETF 
tradition. But we'll try to be better, especially with posting links to 
PRs. That said, a lot of these things are quite detailed and need "words 
on paper" for actual review.

I am open to discussion. It should be noted that this was adopted as an 
update doc and we noted the transition from informational awhile back.

One of the things we could add is a summary section of the changes, such 
as can be found in RFC 9582 [1]. What do you think?

FYI, I did ask Google AI if we could do this, and it says yes [2].   :)

More seriously, there are quite a lot of ambiguities in the RDAP RFCs 
around extensions as this draft points out and a lesson we all learned 
from the list traffic here circa 2 years ago.

Let me know how many "easter eggs" you find. :)
