[SZ] I totally agree with the need for early implementation and that was what I was trying to imply with the use of "ideally implemented" in the CR bubble. Do you have suggestions for a better way to convey this point. The catch is that implementation is not required prior to CR; it is only encourage. If you want to require implementation, then that is, as you say below, a bigger question.
