If there are rules in the spec, they can't be ignored!  That's like saying "I'm 
going to comply with FTS-9, but I'm going to ignore the requirement to generate 
serial numbers in a three year period, bugger that, let's make it three weeks 
instead."  You just can't do that.  ;-)

I don't know what alternate use people would use for the Uplink keyword, but it 
won't matter, because the spec won't allow them to.  And anyone using broken 
software that doesn't comply to the spec would be risking being denodelisted 
until they stop using it presumably.
