Do you know of any platforms where this does not in fact work? Other 
than sanitizing platforms that go to some lengths to impose the 
Committee's rules even though the hardware would work fine?

If not, then perhaps we can convince the Committee that the mismatch 
between the current rules and reality is causing real harm, and that 
it'd be a win for C's users to change the standard to match reality better.
