I'm not sure what I intended for test-apply.
I think it is meant as a top-level tool for running a test-suite,
and thus "currently active skip specifiers" would normally not be a factor.
However, I suppose it could be used in more complex situations; I just
don't remember if I had anything in mind.

In this case I think "the reference implementation is the specification,
if not explicitly contradicted". Assuming you can figure out whet the
reference implementation does. (Doesn't seem that complicated,
but I haven't dug into it in a long time.)

On the other hand, if you think some other semantics would be
more useful or clear, that would probably be OK too.
