Ok, then the reason is in "logic". When you have parent P and children
A,B each with half of rate and only A is sending, than we want A to use
its own rate and also B's rate. B's rate is available as excess in P.
Here I see correct to charge part to A and part to P, while you want
to charge one P and twice A. Only mbuffer will limit the duplicity.
And it is not good idea because tokens can go very negative and then 
ittroduce A's stall for some time.
I see no principial benefit...
