that is true, but since we won't be able to convert every driver overnight,
we'd end up with a situation where some drivers- the ones not yet
switched to Brussels- do the "busted" interfaces, while others do the
"new, improved" implementation. We could either just leave the "busted"
interface undocumented while we convert them all (the average reader
probably won't get much useful info out of the existing truth table,
anyway), or we could leave the existing documentation for whatever it
is worth and also add in the new definitions.
