Some people are talking about changing the wording here.  I think it would be 
helpful to frame that part of the conversation.

The text cited above as 2.3 is not new.  It reached working group consensus 
already because it was part of RFC5672.  Thus, its presence in RFC4871bis is 
already effectively approved.  Any changes to it require new consensus.  My 
citing it isn't introducing anything new; anyone that is proposing changes to 
it has to garner consensus to make any changes stick.

Similarly, the proposal to drop "i=" and all text that refers to it is a change 
from everything we've approved so far, and requires working group consensus to 
make that change.
