Sounds like a lot of work to me. In the era of xml2rfc, that could be
error-prone as well. For the particular issue, having a notice in the
Conventions section might do (it may be there already...). However, it doesn't
address the fundamental issue raised by the appeal.
I don't think the IETF wants to go the path of U.N.-sponsored treaty
organization SDO's [if you have no clue what I am referring to, just ask Tom
Taylor or Rich Shockey who would love to earn beers for telling about their
experiences]. The goal is not just to negotiate a "settlement", but to fix the
problem. We are engineers, after alll.
Moreover, I do not think the "problem" is an individual, where the fix is
"fixing" the individual. I would encourage everyone to re-read John's original
post. The fundamental problem of not knowing what is critical and what isn't
needs to be made clear, and via the IETF's accepted processes.

Here's my suggestion:
List 2606 in the informative references, and footnote the examples used
to indicate
that they are "grandfathered" non-2606 examples.
So, in text that previously read "not-example.com", it might read
"not-example.com [*]",
with the references section having "[*] Note - non-RFC2606 examples
used. Please read RFC2606."
Something along those lines, should hopefully be enough to keep both
sides happy, and resolve the DISCUSS,
and hopefully both set a suitable precedent *and* make moot the appeal.
I think this sounds like a good compromise, and it does improve the
document quality IMHO. John, would this be an acceptable addition to
the document?
Thanks,
Simon
