Come on guys; a standard / spec is a norm, convention of requirement. |

You don't want to reflect reality because if reality were broken you |
| 23 |
would be defining broken behavior in the standard; so, yes, you would |
| 24 |
kind of "define reality" depending on how you define defining reality. |

Let's just agree that we need to discuss whether we want it in the PMS |
| 27 |
and how, not necessarily in this thread as it could be perceived as |
| 28 |
off-topic by most here; I don't see why we need to fight over a word's |
| 29 |
meaning, especially when that word is not relevant to this discussion. |
