My reading of the Last Call is that there was a text change to 
address the issue which was raised during the discussion of the 
I-D.  That may have introduced some ambiguity and the differing 
interpretations which were discussed on two Working Group mailing list.

I could argue that there isn't any difference if I had a strong view 
on the matter.  I don't have any such view currently.

I found the first page [1] of a document from a multi-mission 
laboratory quite interesting.
