I needed a solution to an impending problem, warned a few people left in
Liberty where the work overlapped with prior art, and then I wrote it up.

I am in a unique position to do so with respect to composition with the
original standard because I know what the original standard was designed to
do once the necessary extensions and profiling were done. The delegation
work, apart from the portion already done in Liberty, is just the material I
couldn't spend time on three years ago when I was writing the original spec.
