Strictly as an individual, I then propose we either remove the mention entirely (my preference), or move it to an "implementation note" so that it cannot be conflated with the normative statement it's currently attached to.

But I realize that's pretty pedantic, and  if the authors are tired of making new versions, I can live with it as is :-)
