I took inclusion in Chapter 14 of TUS to be a bright enough line.
Maybe you're saying it isn't.

I do not mean that at all. I mean "another qualified standards body
has defined it for us".

We disagree. Patrik's statements about what a developer would want (a
stable list of what is prohibited so they can filter) seems logical
to me. You might code differently, of course. If we go down a path
where we require that developers code in a certain fashion, that
makes the spec much more fragile.
