Hi,

I think it's in BCP78, it just doesn't use the word "adoption". It doesn't
depend on the renaming.

   "However, if the
   Contribution is accepted for development, the Contributor must
   resubmit the Contribution without the limitation notices before a
   working group can formally adopt the Contribution as a working group
   document."

But this text is in the non-normative Section 3.

thanks,
Rob
