In this particular case, we have been telling people that -allman-01 was 
a stable
draft and to implement that, which I think given how things have panned 
out is
still good advice. If we get through last call in the next month or so 
as we're hoping,
we might change our tune, but as I said there isn't much difficulty in 
supporting both
in the verifier.
