Right, either you are compliant with a spec or you are not. It is like programming. you can write a lousy app and it may work but... interestingly in some programming environments, they won't run at all if not done right. Ths is not to say you can't choose to be non compliant, but we cannot provide for exceptions in the spec because those who don't want to be compliant but want to claim compliance will work hard to fit themselves into the exceptions.
