Vorbis - Jun 2001 - mp3pro bitrates

Sort of off topic, but I was wondering about how the SBR data factors into
an mp3pro bitrate.  If you encode a "64kbps" mp3pro stream, I'm
guessing
that 64kbps would include the SBR data.  So, when played in a normal MP3
player, would a 64kbps mp3pro stream actually sound worse than a 64kbps
MP3 stream?

A 64kbps MP3pro stream appears to be a 56k normal mp3 with SBR hints
hidden in additional ancilliary data fields.
