The user implicitly promised "same_op_no_op", which is why the "default" text is present.  If you want different behavior in your app, just set "accumulate_ops" to "" or "ignoreme".  What's your objection to that simple step?

The intent of the standard (and the WG) seems pretty clear here.  You can argue about whether things are truly normative or not, but that's just likely to result in strengthened text in 4.0 that conveys the same intent...
