So, because leading zeros aren't required anymore leading zeros
immediately become intentional? This is broken reasoning to me. Just
because leading zeros aren't needed anymore there's no change if
leading zeros are intentional or not or our knowledge if they are or
not.

Errr? I was asking about how this feature is *intended* to work and
how people *expect* it to work. Not how it's currently done. The
current implementation might differ from the way it's intended to
work.

It doesn't help the case a tiny bit to present the current state if we
are talking about the intention. It doesn't help the case if you only
start to get defensive just because someone disagrees with the way
"your" feature works.

Well, then it seems there wasn't enough discussion. Just let me point
to http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20090318#20:50:13 in the "light" of
this thread.
