That would be a valid way of making Kink based on 2401bis.  It seems
like a lot of work and I am not sure it is in the best interest of the
working group to choose to make Kink work with 2401bis that way.

Again, I did present the assumptions under which I decided to require
2401bis.  You would need to show me that one of those assumptions is
wrong in order to convince me to change my mind.
