Don't believe that for a minute. They put features in because they have
innovative people who dream up ideas (sometimes good, sometimes wacky) and
whose personal motivation is to show off their good ideas to the world
rather than to pass conformance tests. Then they try to justify the
invention post-hoc by proving there is a requirement out there. (I know -
I've been there).
