I think the spec should give one answer (no matter whether it is correct
:-), if only just to prevent interoperability issues. I ran into this
problem with the test suite, because Calabash implemented option one, I
believe, whereas we implemented option three. The result is that
Calabash executes the pipeline with no problems, but we fail.
