If you can't implement it, you can't implement it. I don't think there's much 
point in being "compliant for compliance's sake". The point of being compliant 
with this particular bit of the spec is interoperability, but not being 
compliant likely won't hurt that.

Put another way: specs don't overrule reality. Your exemption is already 
granted because your TLS stack doesn't support the things needed for -PLUS.
