Sorry for my delay in response, I was at a conference in Thursday and am
still catching up.

The problem is the current wording.  I see Tero's point that you are really
extending 4301, but you say you are updating it in the text with MUST
statements.  If you change that language, and include what you need from
4301, then you are fine with this as stand alone.  Another way to handle it
is to say that you are updating 4301, in a way that is specific to NULL
Auth and this extension/update is only needed for AUTH_NULL/ID_NULL.
That's still an "updates'.
