I'm happy to require fixup during serialization.

I agree that we need to spell out what we want.  I don't agree it
should be incumbent on every step that might need to do so.

I think it's _much_ simpler, for implementors and for the spec., if we
only require fixup during serialization (as already agreed, we _allow_
fixup earlier).
