I'm glad you think so. Working title is ELR - Explicit Load Regulation.
As noted, this needs standardisation effort, which is a bit outside my realm of experience - Cake was a great success, but relied entirely on exploiting existing standards to their logical conclusions. I think I started writing some material to put in an I-D, but got distracted by something more urgent.
If there's an opportunity to coordinate with relevant people from similar efforts, so much the better. I wonder, for example, whether the DCTCP folks would be open to supporting a more deployable version of their idea, or whether that would be a political non-starter for them.
