We are *not* comparing worms and apples here.
By "resolving ambiguities" of two different implementations of a
feature I mean deciding which of them is compliant and which not
(wasn't this clear?).

Even if in a particular case the answer is that both implementations
are not compliant, the base for giving such an answer still will be
the spec that the implementations implement.
