[ 2025-10-14; Reflector poll ]
Set priority to 4 after reflector poll.
Could the `!exists(p)` part be implementation-defined?

[fs.op.absolute] has a note giving strong encouragement, which should be normative:
[Note 3: Implementations are strongly encouraged to not query secondary storage, and not consider `!exists(p)` an error. — end note]
The part about `!exists(p)` not being an error could definitely be a Recommended practice paragraph. Referring to "secondary storage" might need to be phrased differently to be normative (maybe with a note clarifying that the normative wording is referring to "secondary storage").
