James,

Just repeating the same interpretation of some text in order to come to the 
same conclusion as the preferred one without wanting to see other points in the 
global picture is a sure way to close the discussion, and not to open it.

Read my messages. You have examples when this does not correspond to reality.

It is fine having only one implementation in mind and defining stuff to conform 
to it but, sorry, there are others, and other use cases too.

I think you are putting the cart before the horse. Like I said multiple times 
the problem, if it exists (as I am not sure it exists), must first be clearly 
specified, taking into account all use cases. Only after that we can discuss on 
how to read the current documentation and see what the conclusions are.

Starting by interpreting the text to come to a favorable conclusion is not 
really trying to discuss or come into agreement or consensus in my mind.

But again, I think we rehashed this point often enough now, so besides some 
specific document to discuss, or other new views to exchange, it may be better 
to let the thread die.
