Actually I'd read that as more of a recommendation than merely safe. I

What we meant to say was something along the lines of "You want to turn
this on; it'll do you good, so get on with it! You won't regret it! Now
go fix the next 100 million devices!". The current formulation in the
draft is an attempt to be slightly less colloquial about it... ;)
Well, I have to ask why, in this case, it's Experimental and not
Standards-Track?
Please try to explain as if I haven't read your draft and wouldn't
understand it if I did, but you seem to be saying this is an applicability
statement indicating you want wide deployment, but, from RFC 2026:
(d) Limited Use: The TS is considered to be appropriate for use
only in limited or unique circumstances. For example, the usage
of a protocol with the "Experimental" designation should generally
be limited to those actively involved with the experiment.
If what you're saying is that you do believe this is "ready" for wide
deployment, you should be publishing on the Standards Track, surely?
Dave.
