It's a new semantic, which in my experience usually equates to
standards track.  It's not a big deal, but just for reference,
argument from precedent doesn't work very well.

Relying on what the draft *doesn't* say is not especially effective.
Establishing a reason for the existence of the mechanism is possibly
more important than the description of that mechanism.
