I see that as a very limiting requirement. It is like buying a set of wrenches to work on your car with. You have a CHOICE between Metric or English. Past that decision they just work. So why demand that you have to have both sets at the onset? If the business requirement states they want it to run on anything and they expect to achieve bla bla bla as a gain when they do, so be it! Otherwise it is just window washing that could really get in the way later.
