Re: [802SEC] Proposed compatibility requirement for CSD/5C

I will just offer that if we remove this sentence, then 15.4, for every PAR 
it does, is subjected to an endless (or boilerplate) response as to why it 
can not comply. This at least puts the reason in one place, one time, and 
does not make work which offers no value add.
