Here's what Roy has to say; http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rest-discuss/message/3232 Note that this doesn't mean Jan is wrong, only that he was using "opaque" in a different way than Roy uses there. Roy meant "completely opaque", whereas I expect Jan meant "except where the interpretation is licensed by an associated specification". Also, the rules are different for humans than automata; automata benefit more from sticking to the specs than humans do because humans are more adaptable. Mark.
