Again, for whatever it is worth, these two-level statements have been fairly 
common in IPR disclosures in the past. I didn't scan the 600 or so 
disclosures this afternoon, but in the most recent ID-specific disclosures, 
this seems to be more common than not (see 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/ipr_list.cgi to check my math).

I wonder from time to time how these conditional grants are supposed to 
interact with prototype implementations before a standard is approved ("... 
and running code"), but if I sit very still, that thought usually goes away.

Thanks,

Spencer
