For the above proposal, I would suggest:

  s/the given protocol/a correct and complete implementation of the protocol/

This new paragraph probably also should say something about any
proposed new label format specification having clearly defined 
both the syntax & semantics of the proposed new label, not only
the semantics of the label.  Without clear syntax rules, one could
have interoperability issues.  (Been there, done that, and didn’t like
the outcome with the several variants of CIPSO from the original 
CIPSO I-D.)
