1) I read RFC 3720 section 13.5.2 as saying that publication of extensions as standards-track is allowed, even though the wording is quite convoluted. So the implication of the language in section 5 that it was previously restricted to informational only seems unwarranted.
Actually, the problematic section is 12.22, which reads: For IANA registered keys the string following X# must be registered with IANA and the use of the key MUST be described by an informational RFC.
2) It would be good if section 5 of this draft pointed specifically at section 13.5.2 of RFC 3720 as the section to be updated, and provided specific language to be read as "this section is now replaced by".
I agree that explicitly pointing at the problematic text in 12.22 and providing an in-place replacement is a good idea.
