Default How about supporting an 85% passing score for written exams?

How about a USA version of the Canadian solution:

1) No change to license classes.

2) Tech requires Element 2 (Tech written) same as now.

3) General requires a Tech license plus Elements 1 and 3 (5 wpm code,
General written). If Element 3 is passed with 85% or better correct,
credit is given for Element 1.

4) Extra requires a General or Advanced plus Element 4 (Extra written).

No new tests. No extra paperwork other than the VEs determining whether
someone passed Element 3 with 74% or 85%. No reduction in requirements,
just an alternate path.

Why not?
