It's not worth the effort.

All true.  That's why the comment is marked "rejected".  As I wronte earlier:

The BCP vs STD debate isn't really ours to have.  We can make a recommendation
when we pass it to the IESG, but the decision is theirs to make.  Since the technical
content is already out there as a BCP, I think we'd need a fairly compelling argument
to ask for something else.  In any case, I'd prefer to defer discussion of BCP/STD
until all other issues are resolved, since it really doesn't impact the content of the
document.
