Only the proposed text defining the interim 16-bit field.  The follow-on
specification has not yet been written.  It has not to date been clear
that this would be helpful.  A downgrade-protection extension could be
written now, but it'd a rather different document if the two bytes are not
present in this extension, so we're been waiting for the dust to settle.

Is there sufficient interest in seeing such a write-up at this time?

If that's what we're really doing, we could just bite the bullet and
produce the final document now, with the downgrade protection built-in,
revisiting the previous consensus around deferring that work.  So I'm
reluctant to bring the details of the follow-on work into this discussion,
if that's not what we're doing.
