The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.

I don't understand the below knee proposal. Legskin suits have been in use for many years. Material below the knee is hardly an innovation or controversial. It is the fabric and possible flotation effects of trapping air that are new.
I would be shocked if the below knee limitation actually went into effect.
