OK, if we follow 5.6, and I think it makes sense to, then indeed we
should write what 5.6 does, and if we change it in 7.0 we can update the
spec to version 2.0 just as other languages do :)

I don't think this is such a big deal, but once we've agreed to follow
5.6 this would be off topic anyway :)

So let's follow 5.6 unless there's a very good reason not to (e.g. some
behavior that is kept around only for BC or other like reasons and that
we actually don't like so we want to allow others to get rid of it).
