Isn't this *exactly* what update documents are for? The protocol in 
draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-https is already a standard; it simply hasn't been 
published as an RFC yet. It is also already widely implemented and deployed.

If there is a problem with the protocol specification, particularly one that is 
re-litigation of earlier arguments, anyone can offer a new draft that updates 
the protocol. In this particular case, AliasMode was heavily discussed in the 
WG and the document was revised based on those discussions before the protocol 
was standardized.

It would be good to understand why this particular case of feature 
re-litigation is enough to cause a message such as this.
