This work is not dependent on 4408bis.  This is a defect in 5451 that exists 
relative to 4408.  IIRC I even brought it up in the working group, but didn't 
prevail at the time.

I have some opinions about other issues that might be addressed, but I think 
this is just a plain bug in 5451 that ought to be fixed.
