As an individual, I do not believe that the proposed text should be incorporated into the draft.
As one of the document editors, my responsibility is for the document to be of reasonable quality and to reflect the rough consensus of this Working Group. So I should ask the list more explicitly - are there other WG remembers who are in favor of the proposed text here (the text would have to be fixed up some too)?
