About this "breaking current deployment" thing, it seems to me that anyway when
RELOAD will be published as an RFC, the version number with be incremented to
1.0 (0x0a), so implementations of the RFC will *not* be compatible with *any* of
the current implementations.  And because of this, I really do not understand
why the authors of RELOAD are fighting so hard to not break things that will be
broken anyway - there was multiple instances of things that could have been
improved in the document but stayed because of this (the fragment bit is one
example of this).  Having been there multiple times I really understand the
plight of early implementers but I would never ever use this as a justification
to keep useless stuff in a protocol.  What should have been done is simply to
increment the version each time a new version of the draft would have broken
interoperability - and we had the possibility to do that 8 times (versions 0.1
to 0.9).
