If it is necessary for the wg to encourage multiple interoperable 
implementations and interoperability testing, then perhaps that's a signal 
that the protocol spec isn't ready to advance.   My experience is that if 
people want the protocol, they will implement it and do interoperability 
testing with no outside encouragement.   "They" is often members of the wg,
  but that doesn't mean it needs to be official wg business.
