The impact of such an attack would be to
   eliminate any benefits of the REFER Mechanism and revert to the
   security characteristics of the Standard Mechanism.

As long as you proposal is vulnerable to downgrade attacks, it does not

It only adds a little audit trail if the parent turns out to be malicious but 
that too can be mitigated by the parent by replacing the entire child.
