It looks to me like you're retroactively specifying something in your test. I asked a simple question to determine whether that was the case, since I would like to know the exact nature of the bugs Google is (rather pompously) flaming us for.[1] If there is disagreement about a change to normative behavior, it seems like the right thing to do would be to discuss it, not pick one interpretation and try to jam it through as errata. I don't see how one can claim the spec can be interpreted both ways, but also that the intent is clear. Is one of the possible interpretations a real stretch?
