Are others interested? We can do it virtual if that's more convenient.

    As I said, i don't think this is addressing the primary problems with

    I'd like to see us focus on that ability to progressively revise
    specifications.  Is that something we might want to grab a room to
    discuss in Vienna?  I'm thinking about the following:

I won't be in Vienna, but might be able to call in.

      * What are the process limits?
      * What are the tooling limits?
      * Are the requirements of all levels of the stack the same?
      * Related, what are the necessary interoperability requirements?

I think there are actually a number of related issues:

- Non-semantic changes (editorial issues, errata, etc.)?
- Semantic changes that aren't really new versions (e.g., RFC 8446-bis, which is largely a clarification of 8446, but does in fact contain new normative text)?
- New versions

My put for non-semantic changes is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-rescorla-rfc-jit/. I suspect we'd need different processes for the other two.

    What I would like NOT to do would be to create the IETF version of
    the NPM/Pypi dependency mess.

    Even if we keep the process the same, can we improve other
    aspects, like how readers view errata or evolutions of works like
    TLS.  We've got another one coming: TEAPv2.  We don't need to
    rewrite *all* of TEAP, but rather do some incremental changes.

    Thoughts?
