Hi Anthony,

I would suggest you to have two separated classes, one the existing one 
and the other that can be used to experiment and move towards whatever 
the experimental standard variant would become. Note that the proposal 
is moving a lot and there is not yet enough consensus on its semantic.

Best,
Vicente
