FWIW, I enclose the boilerplate I've had some of the MIP4 authors use;
this also matches what the latest version of the xml2rfc produces.  As
far as I can see this complies fully with 3667 and 3668.

Not sure which script you're referring to, but if it is the 'idnits'
script, it looks at the draft and tries to determine whether the draft
is based on 2026 or 3667 boilerplate, and judges it accordingly.  A
future version will be strict in permitting 3667 only, but currently
there are a lot of drafts in flight based on 2026, so I going by the
'conform to either 2026 or 3667' approach for now.  Mmm, maybe I'll add
a switch which makes it 3667-strict now; with the updated ID-checklist
that seems reasonable.
