Some of them are, but some of them it's not so clear.  The notifications 
'spec' is not yet an approved FDO spec as I understand it.  Failure to 
comply with an unagreed draft is not a bug.

That doesn't mean there might not be advantages to doing so anyway, but I 
don't think bug is the right word.
