I'm new here, only learned about this spec last week so bear with me if my suggestion makes no sense... Could the bandwidth attribute be structured to include some optional metadata to help clients decide how reliable it is? For example: 1MB/s ; source=networkType 400kB/s; source=measured This would allow for future evolution of bandwidth measurements (including adding more metadata), and clients can ignore everything after the first semicolon if they don't care. -Bertrand
