That is the operative work here.

We write standards track specifications to foster interoperability.

If you can't go away with a standards track spec (and the documents it normatively references) and independently create something that then interoperates, the spec has missed its mark.

The WG is specifically tasked with taking the existing RFC to standards-track, so any change that counteracts that objective is a non-starter.

So +1 to what Paul and Tim said.
