Ole,

After reading the replies, I wonder if you could amend your summary with 
one point in particular:

On 4 Feb 2017, at 2:32, otroan@employees.org wrote:

What did you see as the objections to going with (1) (which I presume to 
be the equivalent of Brian's proposed text)? Why was it that people 
thought the protocol could not be clarified to say that? And was your 
assessment that those arguments were correct, or that they simply were 
not addressed by the WG? I've seen several people argue on this list 
that (1) was always the intent of the protocol, and that damage occurs 
if you don't follow that directive. I haven't seen anyone here argue 
otherwise. Could you summarize?
