We don't really need an RFC to specify how to set IW to 10 - that should be pretty straightforward to implementors.

We also don't need an RFC for lab experiments with IW10.

My impression is that Google et al. would like to experiment with IW10 *on the Internet*, and the WG is asked whether that type of experimentation is considered to be safe.
