I don't know what the correct answer to this is.  However, if the SANE spec 
seems ambiguous to you then it may seem likewise to a front end writer who 
might interpret it either way.

Therefore for maximum resilience you might be better to bite the bullet and be 
prepared for either case.

cheers,
Jon
