OK so your original gripe is vindicated, if not in the way you
suggested. Developers should follow guidelines. guidelines are not
rules, but that doesn't mean you are free to ignore them, any more than
the guidelines you see on the road.
My original gripe is not vindicated: there is no easy way for a user to know
which app will work which way (other than trial and error, of course) and
there is no good way even suggested for the developer to tell the user -
Apple offers no visual language to inform the user.
