“The new doc does neither” 

You are joking - right?

Lets see - the Abstract states:

  "This document updates the RPKI certificate validation procedure as specified in Section 7.2 of RFC6487."

And the introduction states:

  "This document updates the RPKI certificate validation procedure as specified in Section 7.2 of [RFC6487], by replacing the section 7.2 of [RFC6487] with the specification contained here.”

I believe that this is a very clear, concise and accurate description of WHAT is being changed. i.e. go look up section 7.2 of RFC6487 and replace it with the procedure described in this document. What exactly gives you a problem with such a explanation of the proposed update to the RPKI validation procedure?
