I think a crucial point is that something's being documented in standards doesn't mean it actually works in real life, everywhere, in all versions of all implementations.

We don't *need* head with negative offsets. That was just a random idea I had at the time, which I checked to be working fine. The bug closure and the committed implementation show there's no *need* for that… KiBi.
