Totally agree with Maoke. As one of the developers for the MAP design team, I think it's unfair to put both MAP and 4rd-u as experimental. It's good to see the attempt to implement 4rd-u. However, any discussion about standardization should be postponed until it is coded, deployed and fully tested.
