Yes, I think Mike is confusing "Standards Track" with "Internet Standard". There's no requirement that a Proposed Standard that's based on an Experimental or Informational starting point have any particular relation to the starting point, and we're free to do anything the working group thinks is appropriate.
Should we, at some point, want to move from Proposed Standard to Internet Standard, that would be a different kettle of worms of a different colour. Barry On Thu, Mar 17, 2022 at 10:51 PM Murray S.
