Sorry, this sounds completely not understandable: 1. What is "application-level house style"? 2. What is "a rule for the next level up the protocol stack" ? And why are we dealing at such a level of detail of a relatively simple feature, when there are much more serious issues with some specifications, like being 1100 pages long and probably lacking a single reader who has read them all and has grasped the intended (???) meaning?
