No. You only need to support applications reading/writing 999-D arrays 
in the defined format. Nothing in the standard orders any application to 
actually have 999-D arrays or any arrays at all.

This is why it is so important to distinguish objects and their 
representations as defined by the protocol from the objects and their 
representations in the application. The problems you face arise from an 
attempt to equate them.
