-Assume everything can change. This draft specification will change before 
-being accepted as standard, so implementations made to this draft 
-specification will likely not conform to the future standard.
+Change is extremely unlikely. A high threshold will be used, and a 
+change will only occur because of some truly critical issue being 
+identified during the public review cycle. Any other desired or needed
+changes can be the subject of a follow-on new extension.
