Well since the proposal included what appears to be a reasonable set of 
ATF tests, one would assume that if the standard changes and the results 
are different, the tests would detect the change.  (Assuming of course 
that the tests and their golden-output also get updated.)  One could 
even retain the existing golden-outputs (which would be not-so-golden 
after such a change) and use them to report specifically that the tests 
are not just wrong but that they conform to the earlier standard.

Or did I misunderstand your question?
