I think the changes above are fine to make if changes are being done.

I didn't post before because I thought they should be uncontroversial
not because I didn't support the changes. (And I'd also trust you chairs
to identify such uncontroversial changes without each one getting a load
of +1's - if you judge them so and say that to the list, then we get a
chance to object if we think you've called it wrong. And then there's
IETF LC etc. afterwards anyway.)
