Patrick,  perhaps more to the point, the ramifications (consequence analysis) 
of managing transitions between variable code/address realms.  
Its not just expansion, its flow between larger/smaller, and smaller/larger.

Agree.

I do not agree regarding the term "unlimited".

What is needed is that the specification do have a consequence analysis
