Why this is better

Verified: body text correctly gives the USPS Informed Visibility disclosure as 2018 and both RFC 9700 mentions (inline callout and bibliography) as 2025 (RFC 9700 was actually published January 2025). No stale 2019 or 2023 dates remain for these facts anywhere on the page, and the FAQ schema does not reference either the USPS incident or RFC 9700. No further changes needed.
