> If the interpretation of the standard results in a behavior that makes the result obviously worse, nobody should favor such an interpretation. This would be true if everyone actually agreed that the more aggressive interpretation is obviously worse. Since said interpretation is claimed to result in better performance, though, it's not very clear-cut. That's the nature of ambiguity; either you rely on convention to establish a canonical behavior, which doesn't appear to be likely to happen any time soon and isn't guaranteed to remain the same over time, or you change the wording to no longer be ambiguous.
