Summary: Ready for publication as Informational, with nits that should
be considered.

Nits/editorial comments:

Nit:
It raises flags for me when an Informational document uses "Updates" on
a standards track document.
I would argue that this does _not_ update 5802. IANA did the things that
5802 requested, and this document
is requesting something else that happens to change those things. That
makes this more of a "see also" than
a "the protocol changed", and I think the Updates should be removed.

I don't feel super strongly about the difference in _this particular
case_, hence its classification as a Nit.
But for consistency, and avoiding the issue of having an Informational
update a PS, I hope you choose to remove it.

Editorial comment:
The URLs in the references section seem superfluous since you've already
expanded them in the introduction?
