Boeing require the half the HW component is to be bled off on final so the aircraft crosses the threshold at Vref plus gust factor. Few operators actually do that in practice, which goes some way to explaining why the excess speed especially on a slippery runway, can lead to a long float and subsequent landing, and danger of running off the end.
