Ah - I missed that there was another non-approved report. Agree that the original report should be approved - it adds a bit more clarity to other definitions too.

[You don't often get email from [e-mail]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification.]

Digging deeper, I realize that this error was previously reported: https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rfc-editor.org%2Ferrata%2Feid284&amp;data=05%7C01%7Csamuel.lee%40microsoft.com%7C661687811b2042890e2108da26c6a5d8%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637864932105888988%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=K%2F8y%2Fcxt9yGEn8LGOUTpD8p7yraVpU9cPhoUZPuQsP4%3D&amp;reserved=0

Maybe we should change the status of the original report to approved.
