Bruce, I have not heard anyone but you arguing that *all* OBS-syntax should 
be accepted. Can you now shut up about this issue, or raise an issue that 
specifically suggests alternate text for 2.1, where we say that OBS-syntax 
is a "MAY" accept, not a "MUST" accept?

Acting as if we had changed 2.1 when we have not is ... not useful.
