Are there any implementations doing this or interface-specific
limiting?  None that I know of, but please enlighten us if so.  I
don't think having such in a draft standard is acceptable.

On the other hand, node-based token bucket limiters are commonplace, 
and work without any perceived problems AFAICS even behind slow/fast 
interfaces, behind tunnels, etc. -- why do we need to say more than 
that?
