Hi,

Obviously, an explicit RFC Editor note would solve the problem in the majority 
if not all the foreseeable cases. The burden is on the AD and to some extent to 
the IESG who should minute the decision as 'Approved. RFC Editor Note.' and 
maybe add 'IANA-related edit' in the minutes to make sure the issue is not 
forgotten (there may be multiple items in the RFC Editor notes). 

Regards,

Dan
