Yes, that is the wording I meant. The intent is to ensure the
implementation does *not* have to put forth such effort. I don't
understand where such an implication is coming from, but that wording
has confused at least three experienced wordsmiths, so I acknowledge
there is an issue, but I don't understand what it is.

I think it is important to say something here. Otherwise, one could
claim that the terminal failing to display "μs" because it is configured
for an incompatible encoding is non-conforming. Well, to the extent
that the standard addresses such devices.
