Sorry if I threw another wrench here!

What I'm raising is only the wish that users can reasonably *default* to
B2-over-B1 unless their use case requires something on our list of "only B1
does this". And that list can be however long it needs to be, just
hopefully no longer. That's probably how we were looking at it already.

And sure, "need" sometimes can mean "it would have made translation *way
too* complex and clever". Even if all we can say is "in principle this
*could* be supported, but it just isn't and click here if you *really care
a lot* to know the reasons why", it works and I suspect most users wouldn't
even click.

Does that make perfect sense? Again, the thread just backed into the topic
sideways.
