Are we hitting that point where the most important players (Python and Java, ;) implement the standard almost fully compliant, and then the standard revises *that* behaviour? For the record, I'm -0 for changing the actual behaviour: I'd really like to implement exactly the Spec, but I think it's more important the practical reasons we have to don't do it. .
