It could even be in the standard -- all too many standards, for example a whole lot of modern network protocol standards, permit implementations that conform but don't interoperate.  In some cases, the authors get annoyed when you point this out and call it a standards bug.  (By contrast, the DECnet standards were always written to the rule that "conformance implies interoperability".)
"We call it compatible for a reason. If it were the same, we would say so"
