It seems to me that the whole point is to have consistant well defined behavior
across distributions, otherwise applications may count on one behavior but find
another. However, perhaps I have highlighted some exceptional cases here that
should be documented as such.

My goal was not to treat thease cases as special, but just call attention to
what I thougt was a normal case that was not working properly.
