If my use of "network" on this thread were meant as something different
from "local environment" in the draft, then combinatorial concern you
are raising would indeed need attention. And I wish I believed that my
use of the word were the cause of the problem on this thread.
It was for me. Reading the earlier messages, it seemed to me that the
specified behavior was broken. Then I went back and read the original
text, and saw that it said "local environment" and nothing about "network",
and it suddenly didn't seem so broken any more.
at the very least it illustrates that using vague terms in a technical
specification
without defining those terms can lead to misunderstanding. fortunately the
misunderstanding was discovered before the document was published, so that
it can be clarified before it does harm.
