Well, we did with CAA. And the statement then was that we explicitly added
it to the BRs as a reference (Appendix A). And there's an update to RFC
6844, RFC 6844-bis, being lead by a member, which will result in a new RFC
number, for which we can then update the BRs to reflect.

That's why I said it doesn't come up in practice.
