There's a process for dealing with downrefs.  I think it's appropriate in this 
case.  AIUI whoever does the post last call writeup on the draft has to 
document for the IESG why the downreft is appropriate.  There's roughly no 
chance SPFbis will cause an impact on this specification, so it'd be wasteful 
to publish this as experimental and then come back once 4408bis is updated and 
republish the same document with a different label.

It wouldn't be OK, but it wouldn't fundamentally cause an interoperability 
problem, so we didn't use MUST.  The worst that's likely to happen is some of 
all of your reports get routed to /dev/null.
