I do not believe Job made either recommendation.  He merely said that
Shunwan as an implementer (I am assuming) could change their implementation's
default.

Job did write that it was adventageous for -large- to have similar properties
as rfc1997.  neither docs make recommendations about the feature to which
Shunwan is referring.
