+1 as well. It is one of those obvious-in-hindsight things that the spec would do well to point out to implementors in advance. If putting this into the spec would require a delay, then I suppose we’ll have to end up living with a spec that could have been more explicit. This clarification is not worth slowing things down for. But if we can get this in there as part of the parcel for clearing the “discuss” vote without further delaying the process, (after all, it doesn’t actually change the spec in any way, it just explicates ramifications of the spec as it already stands,) it would be a very worthwhile addition.
