Interesting reading of the tea leaves.

One thing you may want to do is to file an errata (see "How to Report
Errata" at http://www.rfc-editor.org/how_to_report.html).

Then, the authors and any verifying parties will deliberate on whether
or not this is indeed an errata.  This appears to work for errata in
text, but your claim is that rfc6157 should have updated rfc3263 as
well, so the change is in the masthead of rfc6157 and not in the text
itself.

I suspect that a decision will be made on what to do after an errata
is filed ...

Thanks,
