Thanks for this.

A few comments, all small or nit-sized:

Try "prior to approval and publication".

I'm not quite sure what the word 'stream' adds here. Why not just
omit it?

Note that this requires a specific change to XML2RFC, and no doubt
to other tools.

I have the impression that this is geekspeak and that it would be better
for an international audience to write "From now on," (2 occurrences).

I'd delete "Per the IETF's specification process". I don't think it
adds any information for the reader.

That comma should definitely be a semi-colon (3 occurrences).
