I've been among the ones that do such changes. I believe that handling that 
one id, instead of breaking the transaction, was more stable.
So, a write(cr,uid, 634, vals..) would behave like write(cr, uid, [634,], 
vals...) .  Is there a case where we wouldn't want this behavior, where a 
strict definition of arguments would be better?

Remember that it's not that easy to correct all modules to call 
write(..,list[],..) everywhere. We are in a weak-typed language and types may  
be anything.
