COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I initially wrote this up as a DISCUSS position, but made it NoObjection
instead because it didn't strictly fit the DISCUSS criteria -- that said, I
*do* think that it is important and would really appreciate it if you'd
strongly consider addressing it (it's also IMO a trivial update!).

I reviewed this document on a plane, and had a bunch of comments... but it was
only when I came to ballot that and I saw John Scudder's note of "Note that
this document is a tightly-scoped update to RFC 8919. Prudent reviewers will
focus on the diff vs. 8919 [1], and *not* try to do a detailed/full document
review." - it would have been great to know that before reading the document!

Knowing what has changed in a -bis is really important - it lets the reader
know if they actually have to bother reading the new document. This information
*does* exist in this document, but it is buried in the RFC equivalent of the
bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on
the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.” (Section 9, between Security
Considerations and References)

Normally, in an "Updates" document we'd say (in the Abstract) something like
"This document updates RFC 8919 by x and y and z". This is somewhat harder to
do in a grammatically correct manner with Obsoletes, but perhaps something
like: "This document obsoletes RFC 8919; the changes are documented in Section
9"? (I'm planning on balloting the same on the OSPF version of this doc).
