So, the implementability of our specifications is a significant
concern.  If we do not expect there to be environments in which a
feature of our spec will be implementable, then we should remove that
feature.

Implementability is sufficiently important that RFC 2026 explicitly
gives the IESG the ability to request an implementation report even
for publication at proposed standard when it has questions about
whether a particular feature can be implemented interoperably.
