We chose instead to continue interpreting that attribute as specifying what the _author_ of the test expected, and then using a separate attribute (doesn't have to be a boolean @implDe -- if the range of cases you want to cover (impl-defined, impl-dependent, unspecified) can really be adequately distinguished, then make them the values of a defaults-to-vanilla attribute called @status or some such). ht - -- Henry S.
