Hi Joel,

Thanks for your time.

I'm not opposed to the change you suggest but I quote from section 4.0 of RFC
1264

|    4) One or more implementations must exist.

Oh, it was certainly not our intention to persuade people not to add
documentation about implementations. I don't think the current text
de-emphasises anything (unless you consider that not talking about something is
de-emphasis). It would not hurt us to note how implementation reports have often
been written and how the IESG currently recommends that they are written.

Cheers,
Adrian
