"Local policy" is just another way of saying "doing something outside of the specification".  People are always 'allowed' to do whatever they want.  It has nothing to do with interoperability through the specification.

Telling people that they can do things outside of the specification is not helpful.  In fact, it often is counter-productive, because having such language in a specification makes it seem to carry extra weight.  Which it doesn't.  For example, it often seems to be granting permission or constraint, but it is doing that for something about which the specification has no power or authority.
