Issues with "WP" status are for the next version of the standard, so if
they conflict with the current standard, they form a different dialect.
But from my scanning of the list of "WP" issues, most are simply
clarifications or corrections, some considered not important enough to go
in now, so implementing them does not form a different dialect.
