This was exactly my point a year ago. Trouble is:

1. We don't need this document to explore the solution space, as we are
going to ignore it in certain situations, and as the charter says.

2. Shipping this document as-is is not going to attract protocol
developers, because it's a powerful weapon to cancel any solution that
anybody does not like.

Writing a protocol is a lot of work, and there is little point doing it
if the work is going to fall into the oblivion of unrealistic
requirements anyway.
