Hi,

In general I think this is a good form of relaxation.  However,

An alternative could be to mark the entry with the RFC 5226 level of the
documentation, and indicate what levels are acceptable.  A black/white
distinction will probably lead to a lot of discussion, and different
implementation purposes could call for more subtlety.

This is a vague one, and may unleash more discussion than it saves. 
Also, this should not turn into a suggestion of using implementations
rather than specifications as leading.  I've seen a lot of that around
Kerberos, where sane changes can get bogged down because there is (or
may be) an implementation that couldn't live with it.

Yes, in broad lines, but I have the noted concerns / suggestions.
