The following text from Section 7 of "Variability in Specifications" spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/spec-variability/) discusses implementation-defined behavior vs. implementation-dependent behavior. "An 'implementation-dependent feature' is one whose end result must occur, but the behavior that leads to that end result is discretionary. ... users of the technology will need to know the behavior of any given implementation, and [the specification authors] chose not to force uniform behavior." This can be contrasted to 'implementation-defined behavior' that the specification authors choose to leave unspecified (and not required). A common example of this is the behavior when multiple errors are present in the input.
