I thought it was a temporary section and would be deleted by the final editing 
pass when the TBDs were filled in.

Traditionally, RFCs required running code, normally at least 2 independent 
implementations that can talk to each other.  That section is useful while 
debugging and collects the data for the reviewers.

-------

Speaking of TBDs...  How do we contact the czar who assigns numbers for NTP 
extensions?  We've all been testing with 4 values.  It will be a pain if they 
change and I don't know of any reason not to make the values we are using 
official.
