ok .. so no policy change intended. That's great, otherwise we would
have to revise much more text.


While it was maybe somewhat unfortunate to include the line in the table
in the first place, I am worrying that removing it at this point in time
could be interpreted as a policy change.

Maybe we should clarify that by adding a line right below the table:

If we are worried about consistency, wouldn't we have to update Table 4
as well?  Keeping RFC 7285 consistent within the document is probably
more important than compatibility with extensions that are specified
some 8 years later.

Thanks,
