I think improving the support for the reference integrity is a good
thing. That's my personal opinion as an engineer involved in this project.
That said, the team has to consider priorities when implementing
features, and I don't know where it comes in that sense. Besides, it's
not up to me to decide what would be standardized --- that's up to the EG.
So I really can't promise anything. I do have some freedom in putting
things into the RI, so I might be able to do that. It is generally much
easier to do so than to put something into the spec.
