I agree with Xavi here: This is a good way to gather data for implementation issues (such as the implementation complexity of the “efficient” variant of the NHC approach).  It is not so good for architectural issues (flow label) or housekeeping issues (code point usage of the “greedy” variant; code point re-use in the revised MH proposal).  We should have an agreement on the latter ones before going into a plugfest.
