However, the spec says what the spec says not what I think I meant when I helped write it :) - so maybe an erratum is in order here. It does seem to me that since the above can't possibly be right in any sensible world, signaling an error is useful... and when there is a lack of clarity, doing the useful thing is often a useful discriminant. -Tim
