We agreed a long way back to refer to our draft from within itself
as "this document". I see that most other similar documents use the
phrase "this standard", and our document is, after all, intended to be
standards-track.

This leads to some awkward turns of phrase, where we refer to "... as
defined in this document, or in some other internet standard ...". So I
should like to change our usage to "this standard" in all such places.

Is this agreeable to the list?
