The distinction is not so clear for me but I am fine with "no innovating".

What we can do while that discussion is not over in the WG is to make sure that new SEND options have the possibility of identifying which algorithms each party are using, leaving the signaling part for later. This is similar to DNSSEC where in order to change from SHA-1 to SHA-256 probably all signatures will be for a while duplicated in the zone files.

IMHO, it will help to move the document through the next step.
