Actually, the intention is just the reverse.  The intention is to
reserve a bit (or bit pattern) so that the IPR'd mechanims NEED NOT
to be used for future better security protocols.  CGA can be used
independent on whether there are any bits reserved or not.

The bit method would leave the door open to any future security mechanisms,
including those based on AAA and CGA.

But I think Erik is better in expressing the issue, he first
proposed the bit method anyway.
