Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:

But you can't just change it without breaking the code of anyone who's relying 
on the current behavior. If we could say "no one relies on that", that's would 
let us move forward with such a breaking change. But I don't think we can make 
that determination. And we're generally conservative with such breaking changes.

I think the current behavior doesn't make much sense, although I haven't 
completely analyzed the issue.
