About half of the postings about this document have been supportive, and the
other half have wanted to not publish it.
What does it mean to have a series-wide policy that includes this statement?
The various RFC streams may set their own guidelines, which will have priority.
Are we forcing each stream to make their own, or do we expect that most streams
will follow this default?
My best answer to that question is "Yes".
I think there's an analogy to the IETF IPR rules, which the other streams have
largely adopted. But it's clear there may be variations, for example around the
acceptability of AI-generated text.
Anyway, given the variety of opinion about adoption here, I will have a go at
another version, some time in the next few weeks.

Heavily updated following many comments...
The main points were to make it clear that stream policies always win, and I
added a minimal section on dispute resolution.
More comments please!
