I reviewed the report and the section of the Chicago Manual of Style to which it
refers, and also the section of the Chicago Manual of Style that it includes
by reference.

I think this document is better than anything we are likely to come up with on our own,
and it would align our practices with other SDOs, so I encourage us to adopt it and
turn our attention to other issues of IETF culture.

R's,
John

PS: the online Chicago Manual is behind a paywall, but for anyone who wants to look at it,
you can get a 30 day free trial or do what editors have done for the past century and buy
a paper copy.  Paper copies are cheaper than the cheapest subscription so I went the paper route.
