Wfm. And, again, consistent with the general observation that
we need to assume we can trust people to act sensibly and should
not over-specify things. If we can not make that trust
assumption, we should be trying to work on those issues, not on
this relatively minor topic.

something equivalent, wfm.

divergence.
