Under the resolution from St. Louis, there was no added compensation.
The system clock is still required to provide 10.000 Gb/s +/- 100ppm
while the transmit clock in WIS mode operates at 9.95328 Gb/s +/-20ppm.
If anything the compensation is simplified since there is now a narrow
range of frequency extremes within which to perform compensation.
