Plan (a) is tempting. However, since we published version -00 of 3552bis there have been zero comments on the list. We are going to try to revive the discussion, but there’s a real risk that 3552bis will either expire and go away or take a long, long time to reach publication.  I hope this isn’t the case, but it’s a real possibility.

The content in draft-hardie is worth publishing, so I don’t think it’s a good idea to tie it to 3552bis.  Of course we would link to it from 3552bis if it gets published on its own.

But if people prefer (a), just post a PR on [3] and I can merge it into a -01 version before Seoul.
