Your summary matches mine.

A new editor's copy is posted. When I finish the matching draft submission, maybe I'll consume another integer and submit this one as well.

I suggested that an independent RFC be written to document record-jar for future generations, actually.

In this case, I don't see the benefit of another ultra-complicated ABNF: I don't think it will save very much text, if any, and it is hard to read. Clarity is served by the current text/ABNF, I think.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
