We're trying to find consensus on the best way to apply BCP 78 and the
options outlined in RFC 5377 to the needs of this document, in a way
that best matches the needs of its intended users to the best interests
of the IETF.

It seems to me like putting a BSD copyright header in an XML comment at the top of the XML source file and dropping Section 13 from the draft would resolve all of the issues, if everyone agrees that is an acceptable thing to do. Ron?

I think that's acceptable in theory. In practice, keep in mind that if someone uses xml2rfc to render the text, it's going to create IETF headers and boilerplate, at least if the "external" version of the XML uses the same settings.

That's probably not what you want, regardless of whether the section 13 language stays or goes.

How did this end up working for 6716?

Ben.
