No, in this case (the 1 chars = 1 proposal) no such thing is
necessary. VFX already implements the proposal and all Forth systems
of MPE and Forth, Inc., and nearly all others always have implemented
the proposal. The 1.2M line program works on VFX, and would probably
break if VFX changed to 1 chars > 1. So Stephen Pelc actually wants
to, in his terms, keep his client's program disenfranchised by not
standardizing a feature that is extremely common practice among both
systems and programs.
The reason he gives is that there are a few systems around that have
explored this corner of the standard; however insignificant these
systems are, they are apparently more significant in his opinion than
all the programs around that have a dependency on 1 chars = 1,
including his client's 1.2M line program.

The problem is that program portability is not a goal desired by
everyone in the community, not even everyone on the Forth-200x
committee.
