> Does it matter if behavior differs? If it does, then I'm fine keeping this as required so that it doesn't diverge. But if this is optional, it doesn't help prevent divergence. I don't think the statement is a binary here. In practice it probably doesn't matter, but it still doesn't mean that we wouldn't necessarily want consistency here. It becomes an implementation details, but in the absence of a common guide different implementations might choose slightly different representations, not for any good technical reason but simply because it is arbitrary (i.e. "Inf" vs "Infinity"). This is why I think an appendix on implementation notes, that indicate this is one possible way of translating data and is recommended but not required makes sense to me. This is not part of the spec, but that doesn't mean that providing guidance is not beneficial. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
