Whether string substitution is conditionally permitted for supported
appliations discovered to be in contention, involving a committee, or
is unconditionally permitted, is an implementation detail.

The policy question is whether substitution is part of support.

While Krista offered her opinion that substitution allows gaming, the
conditional-committee implemenation detail assumes her analysis is
correct. I'm unconvinced, where the mechanism is available only as a
form of support.
