In addition to Stan's comments, please note that as a formal matter
interoperable implementations aren't required for a move to proposed standard.
The multiple interoperable implementations requirement comes into play
when moving from proposed to draft.

Mind you, its always nice to have some code written to see that things aren't
completely silly, and I'm glad to hear that this is being done. But it is
not required by the process.
