I think that a two-tiered system (permanent/provisional, the one your draft proposes, the recommended flag) generally is the best answer to this problem. Not sure there is a one-size-fits-all here that could go into the BCP. > For those > reasons and, I gather, others with less sweeping possible > implications, it seems clear that RFC 8126 is in serious need of > reexamination and revision. My draft specifically did not want to wait for such a grand “second systems syndrome” draft to be developed. I’d rather do incremental steps. Once we have taken a few of them, we might do an editorial round and merge them into a bis. Litigating all open issues at once plus trying to achieve editorial perfection is not what I’d want us to aim at. > Unfortunately, at least as I understand it, a draft revision for > community discussions was promised over two years ago and has been > promised and/or requested by various ADs several times since.

Note there the are different ways to “combine”. My draft is a conjunction (logical AND). Other approaches are a disjunction (logical OR), potentially with a semantically meaningful indication in the registration which path was taken.
