That would imply having access to the code that extracts meta data out of the specs based on pubrules. Unfortunately, we don't. So whatever algorithm we come up with to do the same risks creating the dame same subtle difference you were worried about.

I'm not sure I understand precisely what your requirements are. It seems you want a discrepancy-free environment (we all do), but I was wondering if there were areas where you'd be more willing to be a tad more lenient than others (e.g. it's OK if the ref changes slightly after a spec is published).
