The text you are referring to was intended to prevent unnecessary
work by the RFC Editor.  Only documents that have been deemed to be
"AFS3 Standards" should be sent to the RFC Editor for publication as
an Independent Submission RFC.

Once a document has reached consensus the document is final and declared
to be an "AFS3 Experimental Standard".  At this point any RPC signatures
and code point assignments are frozen because implementers are now
permitted to write code and deploy it.

To revise an AFS Experimental Standard a new Internet Draft series is
started.  When that document reaches consensus it too can be declared an
"AFS3 Experimental Standard".

However, once a document is forwarded to the RFC Editor as this document
was, it is supposed to be an "AFS3 Standard".  If this is not clear,
then the bylaws for this group will need to be changed.  Of course, they
need to be changed in any case.
