I understand the desire for brevity, but this bothers me a bit. What is
the reader to make of RFC3168 Section 20.2, for example? My feeling is
that a short Appendix outlining the specific updates would be useful.
There's already too much spaghetti to untangle.

I see no reason why RFC3540 and RFC5622 need to be normative references
(and therefore downrefs). They aren't required reading in order to
understand this draft.
