Just on that last point, perhaps we should be clearer by what 
"experiment" means.

I think we need to be clear that I understand the proposal is to an 
Internet-wide experimental deployment.

If succesful, I'd expect we'll discover things in the deployment that 
will make us consider new things, before this is approved as a PS. The 
WG might later decide to obsolete RFC-3168, or L4S, or neither, or both. 
That will be to decide in future. In persepective, about 15 years passed 
before the previous EXP use of ECT(1) was made made historic, enabling this.
