There is a different perspective to supporting near-term deployments 
and fostering innovation..

.. that is, restricting mechanisms based on the least common
denominator of Internet does not cut it. As we have up-to 10 Gbit/s
links in our network, why again we should limit our use of resources
to 10 Kbit/s? :-)

One should note that such very constrained environments, like 10
Kbit/s, have to restrict the traffic somehow in any case -- for 
example, provide the rate-limiting at the edge of such a link.

That is, I don't think solving the problem of restricting traffic to
fit into these restricted links belongs in this specification.
