Hmmm...  That sounds like a lot of work for a couple of words.

The concern with opening up a big document like rfc2328/rfc5340 is that other 
things may creep in: "let's fix this", "let's add that", "let's include the 
Updates", "what about security?", etc.

Adam Roach wrote a draft [1] that describes a process for changes like this 
(terminology + errata).  The IESG has used it a couple of times, but it is not 
formal.  It would be up to the AD to approve, communicate with the IESG, etc.


[BTW, I am not the AD for this WG, nor am I acting as an AD when discussing 
this document, and I will recuse myself from IESG discussions about it.]
