Hi again,

I meant to also mention that we updated the files to restore the tildes and 
remove the [rfced] questions that have been resolved.  The up-to-date files are 
here: 
   https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9849.md
   https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9849.txt
   https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9849.pdf
   https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9849.html

This file highlights the diffs showing only the updates described above: 
   https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9849-lastrfcdiff.html (side by side)

Thanks,
