SMIL 2.0 comment: 14.3.2 Conformance of SMIL 2.0 Basic Documents

From section SMIL 2.0 [1], 14.3.2 Conformance of SMIL 2.0 Basic Documents

Is this really correct? SMIL Basic uses a subset of the SMIL 2.0 modules; its DTD is a subset of the full SMIL 2.0 DTD. A document that uses modules NOT in SMIL Basic, e.g. a SMIL 2.0 document, can NOT also be a conforming SMIL Basic document. But the above conformance statement essentially says that all SMIL 2.0 documents are also SMIL Basic document. That does not make any sense. It is true, however, that a valid SMIL Basic document also is a valid SMIL 2.0 document.
