I think my main concern here is mostly around using multiple tools on

Yeah, and sticking to the spec we have is the best way to fix that, I'd
think.

Anyway, nothing urgent on the problem from me because I noticed it
purely in a development context. Thanks for filling in the bits about
the real world impact on this too.

Well, I think fixing it is somewhat urgent -- the longer we have the
inconsistency the more problems it causes. I'll aim for having a fix for
this ready later this week.

Thanks for detecting this!
