 The draft is updating two standards, and promoting better performance. I
remember when the first present of the draft at IETF 89, I asked you of its
difference, and the answer was no much code difference just performance.

 When we promote optimum that means best performance? So how can this WG
get sure of that optimum behavior, do we just follow
the author/implementor, is that IETF practice.  The results can be
necessary to prove it's a suitable standard update. If you want it to be
not necessary to give results then no need to update our standards, just a
new standard extension.
