[SKOS] inconsistency between Guide and Specification

While trying to write down a resolution for the 
relationship between labels I found:

in the Core Guide, section on Multilingual La 
belling [1]

[[
   It is recommended that no two concepts in the 
same concept scheme be given the same
   preferred lexical label in any given language.
]]

in the Core Specification, table of prefLabel [2]

[[
   No two concepts in the same concept scheme may 
have the same value for skos:prefLabel
   in a given language.
]]

The weaker constraint in the Guide makes sense to 
me. I will most likely propose an even weaker 
version in my resolution.
