Yes, it often does, and it's wrong.

By the way, where it says "There must be at least two interoperable 
implementations...." I think the intent is to say "There must be at least 
two conforming implementations ...", not "There must be at least two 
uniform(?) implementations ..."

In any case "interoperable" is not the proper term to use. I argued this for 
several years and eventually gave up.  But I have to back Larry up on this. 
His definition is the traditional one in standards.
