Having discussions through github is a really bad idea.  Mail formatting can 
get even more mangled, and we lose the IETF mail archive and participation.  I 
think we need to be more diligent and avoid doing that.

That's not necessarily a problem.  The behavior of the other party need not be 
strictly defined.  It can send an alert or continue along as best as it wants.  
Merely describing what must be done is enough.  Very few specs fully mandate 
what must be done if all the requirements are not met; I think XML was the 
first widespread Internet one to do so.
