Thank you, and yes there was a disconnect.  Indeed now I get it.  For
some reason I had assumed that you meant for some short period of time,
but the algorithm is clearly aimed at longer periods of time (e.g.,
across reboots).  Given that, the inputs the WG has stated seem
perfectly reasonable.

Right.  With you now.

Thanks again...
