You're missing "While input's length is zero or not a multiple of three, append a U+0030 DIGIT ZERO (0) character to input."  By the time you split it into three strings of equal length, its length is divisible by three.

<http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v2.html#bug-resolutions> says INVALID is only for obvious junk or spam, WORKSFORME is for stuff that's just not a bug.
