As a point of process, it would be great if when implementors found themselves 
in this situations that they write up a wiki stawman for the semantics they 
decided to implement.  That way we can all review them and discuss whether they 
are the semantics we want to adopt for the specification. Even better, do that 
before deciding to implement.
