Likely this will result in presenters asking for 2x their previous time, but at least it will be a more realistic method to plan out time during a meeting and reduce the instances where the WG will be running short of time for meaningful discussion if the presenter (or WG chair) isn't good at managing the available time and spends the whole allocation reading slides to the people in attendance.
