The downside with speculative text is that it creates a weak spot in the RFC. Ask yourself how much of the text will still be valid in 5 years, when have more operation experience. The normative text will probably still be, but there is a high likelihood that the speculative text will be off-base. What will we do then? Rewrite the entire RFC?
We update it like anything else. In the end what enterprises will need are a set of predictable behaviors so they know how long transition states will last. So long as you can answer those questions in the draft, life is good.
