There is one thing I'd like to discuss here (lower-case "discuss"):

   This document obsoletes RFC 4402 and reclassifies that document as
   historic.

We don't have a clear sense of what "historic" means and how it interacts with "obsolete", so let me start with how I look at it:
I think that a newer version of a protocol specification makes the old version of that protocol obsolete.
I think that a protocol (but not a version) that is no longer recommended for use might become historic.
I think that if we have a protocol called ABCDP, and we make a new protocol called LMNOP that replaces ABCDP, we might likely make ABCDP historic.
I think that if we then have an updated version of LMNOP, that obsoletes the earlier version... but it doesn't make it historic.

So I question whether the "reclassifies as historic" is the right thing here or not.  4402 will be marked "obsolete", and that should be enough.

I would have found a "changes from 4402" section helpful.

I concur with Barry's comment concerning obsoleting vs changing to historical.
