That's the intent as I always understood it.  Although, giving the timing,
it's not clear to me why someone who hasn't implemented something yet
wouldn't do RFCS instead of RFCE at this point.

If we want to make it an appendix to something, how about RFCI instead
of RFCS?   The protocol is just a variation of the RFCI protocol.
