Now that we have nailed down what to do in prometheus/prometheus#17904 , we can finalize this. @krajorama & @linasm what do you think about this? I'm wondering how detailed we should describe the edge cases in the spec (or pseudo-spec, as I prefer to call it) here. One could argue that they are all implied with the current wording, but another line of argument would say we should spell out the edge cases here explicitly. (I currently tend towards the former, as it is more in line with the other parts of this document.)

As per discussion over on prometheus/prometheus#17904, I'll add a detailed edge case description here (hopefully tomorrow).
