Interesting! From my recollection of discussions with the community
there is low appetite for those atoms.

I fear IDR would do itself a disservice if the WG publishes documents

could arise down the road due to perceived ambiguities, not so
dissimilar from issues with the original FlowSpec specification.

Kind regards,

Job
