Right. So the question is keep it in the document or put it into a separate
small one. The small one would allow other derivative work not to have to
have BRSKI-AE as a normative reference, which may be better if its got nothing
to do with BRSKI-AE.

I guess we can delay the decision up to the point when we do see such other
derivative work coming up, and then decide whether to separate out the
new /brski naming from the doc. As long as there is no such additional doc,
we keep things in BRSKI-AE as they are right now.
