Yes, I follow that this is the new behavior that HI-14 implements. My
point is that *it is not the feature that HI-14's description requests*,
nor that either of the issues marked as dupes of HI-14 requests. As such,
1. HI-14 appears to have been closed inappropriately. The issue it
describes (and that at least two dupes of it *also* requested) has not been
fixed.
2. To the best of my knowledge, the change to key interpretation that
was actually implemented does not correspond to any accepted issue.
I have concerns here both about the process and about the result. With
respect to process, we appear to have had a behavior change implemented
that was never accepted -- a breaking change, no less. The change that was
accepted for implementation is something different and as-yet
unimplemented. With respect to result, we have a change that breaks
existing sites without warning, acknowledgement, or even any particularly
good justification. I cry "foul"!
