Here is my proposed verbiage for checkpoint 8.4: """ Promote consistent handling of discretionary choices. Conformance Requirement: the specification MUST document the identified policies for handling discretionary items Rationale: this helps identifying where the specification could actually factorize these policies, so that implementations could handle consistently discretionary items - users have an expectation of what to expect and should be able to count on getting the same results under the same conditions with a given implementation. Note that the Working Group believes that given identical conditions, the effect of a discretionary choice should be consistent within a single implementation, and thus, that specifications should enforce it.
