- One obvious (if a little wishy-washy) solution is to not specify
- whether the namespaces are the same. That is, applications are
- required to use a valid path, and have to be prepared for things like
- unwritable directories, but implementations are not required to check
- for those things.
-
- This makes sense in light of the fact that there seems to be a general
- lack of consensus about which is best. Even though there is existing
- practice for both ways of doing things, it may be premature to
- standardize either behavior now.
