Unfortunately, it turns out that the document I found which appeared to
be the EU regulation was not the actual regulation. It was a preparatory
document for producing the regulation. (The original document I was
pointed to in bug 1370591 was a press release, even further off the
mark.)

As a result, the design did not comply with the regulation. This
explains Albert's observation here that some handsets show "a
notification at 70/80% that doesn't let you increase the volume unless
you say 'ok, sure'": that requirement is part of the actual regulation.

Complying with the regulation is now tracked in bug 1480912, which has
to be private for now because it includes copyrighted attachments.
