Yeah, this was my impression too. It all seemed to fail when debating 
error handling more or less extreme edge cases that users of the spec 
rarely would care about.

I sort of think that we should go with the resolver approach and then 
let the spec catch up with us. We would have to be prepared to make some 
changes to the implementation, but that's fine, it would unlikely be in 
areas that would cause a lot of breakage anyway.

But we can always add it later too of course.
