Every few sentences there there is a remark like "This circuit might have edge cases,... "...perfect for the majority of use cases,..". In other words: It will, at best, work on the developers table, but nowhere else. Why is somebody publishing examples that won't work in the real world ?

USB is a mess. Lots of devices that claim support are actually way out of spec. As a result it is hard to say exactly what will happen when people start plugging stuff in.
