The word "change" is incorrect here, because the standard that was current
when Nokia wrote its implementation had pretty much exactly the same
requirement. (The reason for that is that *all* past standards have
contained this language except for RFC 1884, which specified /80, which
won't work in the real world.)

Could you reword your position to take into account that fact?
