I like 2).
Given taking 2), is it technically possible to make an "update" to
the merged Basic-auth spec by a PRECIS profile document defined
later (but sooner)?

We're going for Proposed Standard here. We can always revise the
document again, change this, and go to Full Standard later on.
The key issue aren't the specs, but what implementations do. So we need
to agree on what they should do and try to get *that* implemented,
Otherwise the whole exercise is completely academic.
