Thanks for doing the research :)
I did see your other post with this information, I was just asking
whether they were officially "allowed". I suppose that since they are
not officially "disallowed" and as you have kindly noted, they work,
therefore I assume we're safe to use them.
Just trying to safeguard against things like undocumented features, and
things that you "can" do, but you "aren't supposed to" do.
Thanks!
