Skipping the update on a truncate not changing size is a performance win although not a very useful one. I don't think we can ignore the standard however. For one it simply means all the vendors have to fix it so they can sell to Government etc.
Now we can certainly put the fix in -every- vendor tree on the planet and not base, I'm just not sure for something so trivial it isnt better just to fix it to the spec *or* beat the spec authors up to fix the spec.
