We do have the option of keeping the existing format and still see
6962-bis published as a standards-track document.  However, I would
expect that doing so would lead to an unpleasant working group last
call, an unpleasant IETF last call, and possibly an unpleasant IESG
review.  If there's a workable alternative on which we can get broad
(but not necessarily unanimous) agreement, let's do that.
