So, the actual order of operations was more like:
- we aren't following 2460, so let's write down the right rules
- oh, look, 2460bis is happening, can we get the rules changed?
- cool, it happened, now what does that mean.
So I'll try to fix the text to match what a reader would now expect.
Can you help with that paragraph? How about:
} This document provides a series of examples that align RFC6553
} with the recent changes in processing described in RFC8200. In other
} words, the examples are intended to be normative explanation of the
} results of executing that language.
} Existing deployed networks may experience a flag day as a result of
} some of the suggested changes, and this document provides a way
} to mitigate such an occurance.

I don't think we control the table formatting, xml2rfc does.
I'll see if I can do something about that.
