With the new design, yes.  But the old design is broken IMHO.  At some
point we need to improve this, and it will be disruptive whether it's
implemented today or next year.   We could always just implement the
JSON attribute, but then we will have a discrepancy between the two
attributes.  I'd prefer not to do that as the whole point of all this is
to improve the clarity of the agreement status.
