RFC4871 is a body of specific text.  Either one publishes replacements

latter.

The latter invites one reader to apply the rule differently than 
another reader.  The former does not.

If what you would like is very specific text to be excised in exchange 
for the text I have proposed, I would be happy to go that far.  I 
thought it had been obvious.  However, I disagree with your conclusion.  
Errata in general provide for that invitation simply on the basis that 
they're not generally read.
