I like these labels!

Isn’t ES5.nonstrict the union of ES5.nonstrict-ES6-intersection and ES5.nonstrict-differs-from-ES6? If yes then ES5.nonstrict disappears and we might have a venn diagram intersecting ES5.nonstrict and ES6:
    ES5.nonstrict-only  (=ES5.nonstrict-differs-from-ES6)
    ES5.nonstrict-ES6-intersection
    ES6-only  (=ES6-differs-from-ES5.nonstrict)

This might be about to the question as to whether there should be a mode that combines ES6-differs-from-ES5.strict constructs with ES5.nonstrict. I don’t think there should be.
