The draft does not mention anything about the 70/71 bit issue, and that RFC5375, section B 2.4, discusses what to do about it. I happen to be a contributor to that RFC, so I've read it at least twice, and I've forgotten that it is there. What about the people who haven't read it at all? (A reference to "B.2" isn't any good - when I first went to that section I came across the B.2.2 text saying /127s shouldn't be used - and that made me quite confused about what you've said above) RFC3627 effectively provides a minimum checklist of the implications that need to be specifically addressed in the /127 draft for /127s to be accepted. If the /127 draft was published as an RFC, it shouldn't be possible for a reader, who's deciding whether to adopt /127s or not, has read RFC3627, and is now reading the /127 RFC, to say "so what about this issue identified in RFC3627?"
