I remain hopeful that a reasoned back-and-forth discussion on technical and
operational points with folks across a variety of technical backgrounds is
possible here.  We ought to be able to iterate toward a net good outcome --
even if it takes a bit of time, perhaps there's a way to better communicate
the concept (among other possible paths forward).

One thing that comes to mind is that the document might benefit from a
clear "why we think this is safe" section (perhaps as the 2nd half of a
mode-agnostic Protocol Overview/Summary section).  Each individual mode
description section has some "if this is not supported by X then Y happens
and that's fine" type of text, but perhaps gathering or repeating that in
one clear place might help?  I'm not sure if that would address some of the
currently stated concerns, but it's an idea that I failed to have and
communicate during my AD Eval -- and for that I apologize.

If the agenda for the ntp meeting next week isn't already fixed, perhaps we
can discuss approaches during a slot there.
