Agree with Robert's points in his discuss. I also found this document in general difficult to read, and hard to convince myself that it actually works as expected.

As with all Experimental specifications, it would be nice to define some parameters for the experiment (success criteria, guidelines for those who implement and deploy the technology, etc.).

1) VARk = BWMck**2/VFck could be mis-read, suggest adding 
parenthesis or using another couple of lines like eq(2).

2) Surely there's a DoS vector here too - couldn't someone in
principle provide bad inputs so that the algorithm denies service?
Not sure how best to note that, but I'd say its worth a mention in
the security considerations.
