I thought I did in my first reply to you as well as the next one to Emil 
Dotchevski...
To restate only the general picture as short as possible, the problem is not 
in the 'documented behaviour' as such/in itself but in the context of all of 
the implications of that/such behaviour...Just as the core 'objection(s)' 
are not concentrated on some idea of behaviour but about the specifics of 
the current implementation...
