I doubt it, but I'd like to know what others think.

I believe the goal is NOT to have zero implementation-defined items.  I 
believe, and I suspect you agree, that the goal is interoperability.  If 
some decision doesn't harm interoperability in real life, then having it 
implementation-defined is a non-issue. In fact, prematurely specifying 
something where there is disagreement can make things worse.
