After reviewing the discussion more closely, I agree. 
This text should refer to RFC1213 for backwards compatibility.

There is no MODULE-COMPLIANCE in RFC3418 that appropriately reflects

I agree. The changes should be undone for backwards compatibility.

Unless I hear from others who object to this, I will forward these
recommendations to the ADs.
