the community, going through IETF Last Call, and publishing a
new RFC.
How about an erratum?
Unfortunately, the administrative rule on RFC errata is that they are
limited to corrections where what is written does not match what was
intended. That is, documentation errors, rather than -- such as here --
revised goals.
But, yeah. The way to address a modest change is with a modest effort.
