Is a strawman protocol still TCN compatible ? #77

I am proposing a protocol
https://github.com/pelinquin/kissact
that is more or less the strawman protocol and I don't see any scale issue.

Given TCN is 16 bytes long
A TCN changed every 15 minutes for 14 days gives a maximum of 1344 TCNs or 21.5kBytes maximum as there is no need to send the TCNs without contact. You can even set a maximum number of contacts per day (20 for example).
With 10,000 positive cases reported per day, this makes a file of 215 MB at the most, but rather less than 1 MB on average.
I don't see a problem for any HTTP server !
What would be the interest to change the TCNs declared for Covid+ to simulate a contact with a person whose TCN has been captured?
Since we choose not to report TCNs, we can not warn certain people.

So my question is
Would I be compatible if I stayed on a strawman protocol?
