I think if local validation policies (of whatever shape and colour) didn't conflict they wouldn't be meaningfully-local policies. So I agree, that is our starting point.

Yes. That is the example in my document. This would be a surprising outcome to some, which is why my document proposes that it be done with some manner of transparency as an aid to troubleshooting. Since it is also a plausible policy for someone to implement, I think it's a good example.
