I don't have a problem with that, but I suspect my wording can benefit from
some editorial tweaks.

Hmm - based on Brian's comment it might make sense to say
that the document explicitly redefines the structure in 2000::/3
to be the god'ol basic addr-arch structure of "bits+subnet+iid".
Thus having section 2.0 to explicitly point out that this is the replacement
for the format in 2374 makes sense to me.
But the "replacement" part needs to be made very clear.

I don't see any "practise" in the document. Perhaps I'm missing something.
If there is practise, for instance suggesting that the same address format
can be useful for both providers and exchanges, then BCP might make more
sense.  But it isn't clear to me whether the WG sees the benefits of restating
that aspect of 2374 in this document.
