I would be willing to write up/work on a concise RFC (Internet-Draft) 
that does this, prior to IETF 92. I would not mind adding a few 
additional rules to the Core Rules if there is near-unanimous support 
for such rules. (Hard to think of any in particular, except maybe some 
generic UTF8 character rules. Last I checked, ABNF is still 
octet-oriented and US-ASCII focused.)

While I would not say "precondition", it is reasonable to require that 
RFCs after the publication of such an RFC follow it, much like RFCs past 
5234 use RFC 5234 as the basis.
