There is no other way to determine it. The user agent MUST act as if it had followed those steps.
My point is that the algorithms are illustrative, devised specifically for clarity (as is pointed out in the document), yet the text also demands that you MUST use the algorithms as outlined.
They are certainly not illustrative. They are the only way to find out what you need to implement. You MUST follow the algorithm. Not copy it step for step.
This is a logical conflict in the use of the RFC 2119 terminology.
Well, I disagree.
