Well, there is a standard - but it's rather hard to understand from
the wording in the specification - and the 'official' OpenGL test
suite that is run on every implementation before it's allowed to
be called 'OpenGL' doesn't have a test for this particular problem,
so it's rather easy for broken implementations to sneak past.
