I understood what you meant. However, it seems that I was unclear: despite
the fact that these implementations are doing what is *right*, they aren't
doing what is *spec'd*. In this case, the spec needs to change so that these
people are in conformance instead of violation (hence my comment that
"nobody cares about conformance" -- they'd rather do what's right than be
broken-as-spec'd).
