It's always going to depend on what the scope is in terms of flexibility. I'd hope there would be enough to cover the scenario that you describe, but at the same time, enough to ensure that operators can't get away with pushing the rules to the maximum.
We could go through and pick potential faults that may be seen as an insignificance, i.e. ramp not working or bell not ringing, but what we may see as an insignificance could be seen as vital to a person with disabilities.
