Clearly such a decision can only be made by 802.3, and we (802.1) have already committed to discussing this with them. I have already flagged this to 802.12. Although they will have some difficulties with existing chipsets which do hard checking the general sense of the 802.12 meeting that I talked to in San Diego is that our approach is good and should be followed through.
