Maybe I am in the minority but I do not think anything needs to change. I do not see a need for 'no wake' and 'headway' speed. They are synonymous because they serve the same purpose. Both mean 6 mph or the minimum to maintain steering. In currents, the over-ground speeds will be higher when having to deal with currents.
If someone wants to yell at me because I am going too fast, I just smile and wave back (at their ignorance) as always. I know I err to slower passage rather than faster passage through these areas.
Like most topics, I think we have all the laws we need, we need to simply enforce what we have rather than add more laws or complexity.
