I misunderstood.  I thought "it cannot be compiled" meant that implementors 
must change it (and could not proceed if they didn't -- that's what I meant 
by "blocked").

I guess each affected implementor could pick his own substitute name, but 
it would seem better to agree now, so the test writers and implementors can 
proceed on the same page.
