    While we are updating the SANE specification, parhaps it is time to
    document the return values for sane_init()?

    SANE_STATUS_GOOD is clear, but what about the other values. Is it OK
    to call any of the other sane_* functions if sane_init() failed?

    The dll backend do not call sane_exit() if sane_init() failed, and I
    believe this should be documented as the correct behavour.

    When I proposed this last time (1999, check
    <URL:http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/1999-04/0166.html>)
    I suggested a patch, but it was never accepted. I suggest looking at
    it again. :-)
