The facts the registry marks decision-changing, with how the other implementations answered. An invariant may be shown as pass/fail; a design choice never is, however unusual it looks.
How this differs from most implementations
- Tools per harnessone toolvs two tools in 18 of 19
Derived by comparing every recorded value against the other implementations of the same capability. Differing is not a defect unless the row is marked an invariant.
