Right. But I think there is a general expectation that library
routines shouldn't defer interrupts indefinitely or ignore them.
And I would expect that most existing libaries abide by these rules.
(And most of those that ignore the issue probably don't behave too badly
with respect to this protocol.)
In the case of resource invocation, there is no defined protocol, and
thus essentially no libraries that abide by it.
