As co-chair...
From a process point of view, I think we really need to pick a particular
version (even just by saying that we used whatever was available on date FOO)
so that IESG review, IETF last call, and the publication process are not
on a moving target.

If the ISO file changes during that period, someone can choose to request
that those changes be incorporated as an IETF last call comment.

As a technical contributor:
Other than agreeing with the co-chair about the desirability of picking
a date in the interest of stability during the IETF last call process,
I have no problem with any of the editor's proposed changes for this issue.
