Yes, that wasn't such a great idea, but the parameters exist, so there's no need to change them.

Yes, and the recommendations for creators of new parameters (Section 3) and for protocol designers (Section 4) are intentionally worded in terms of new parameters and protocols, not existing ones. > If the document doesn't already say something like that, I agree that > it would be a useful thing to say.
