IIRC The draft I wrote came out of the discussion of the above draft (in 
fact I accidentally hijacked the thread there :) - 
there were the usual two strong opinions "this needs to be there" and "this does 
not need to be there", so I decided to try to write up a balanced 
overall comparison - especially that this type of question comes up a lot 
in many contexts outside the IETF.

Great catch! I added the new section to the "running head" version of the 
doc on the github. Thank you!

Could you suggest a one-paragraph wording for such a discussion ? Your 
comment triggered another idea in my head re options, but I would like to 
hear you first so I do not skew what you wanted to say - maybe they are 
different ideas.

Indeed. Thanks! Weird, I just used the xml2rfc with the default settings, 
and the boilerplate came from template generator... Maybe I need to 
update it. I've created an issue onto the github repo for it, will take 
care of it.
