Note that I am not the shepherd for this draft, but I am the WG
co-chair.

That argument doesn't work, because the WG had to make a major
protocol change in this area no matter what, since 4408 has an
interoperability problem.  If you wish to argue that the WG decided on
the wrong protocol change, that line is open to you; but nobody can
argue that the change is wrong because of our charter.  

Best regards,
