This seems to have generated some discussion, and seems to me (with
my chair hat) to be an interaction worth mentioning in the tcpm draft.
I think that would be a lot easier to accomodate (i.e., easy to add
without another WGLC round) if someone were to suggest a paragraph or 2
to be included in the tcpm draft and we hammered out a quick consensus.

Any takers?

(And if I'm reading the group's take wrong here, let me know that, too.)
