Reading through the relevent sections, you're probably right, although
I vaguely recall email from Eric saying to be loose on this one and
accept it (but I could be totally mistaken in this -- I should go back
and see if such email really does exist).

There is definitely a NOTE in 5.8.6.7.2 that seems to indicate it
should be illegal, though (sfront currently accepts it ...),
