Not really. Sometimes the app itself will be very consistent, never
applying quotes, but an underlying driver will always apply quotes. The
result is a mixed behaviour. There is nothing you or me can do about
that. Notice that in the above case, neither app nor driver are
violating their mandate, and both are well within their right to do so.

So long as the behaviour is regulated by a standard, there is nothing
you and I can say against such practices.

not CCed to advocacy, as it is 100% technical.
