You misunderstand.  It isn't _my_ transition strategy, it isn't even  
really a strategy (is predicting a rock will hit the ground if you  
drop it a strategy?).  I'm merely suggesting it is the most likely  
outcome of the situation we've placed ourselves in.  You might not  
like it and I'd agree that it is sub-optimal, but it is the bed we  
made ourselves when we chose to focus on header bit patterns instead  
of figuring out how to actually fix the real problems facing IP.   
However, that's water under the bridge.
