Yes, we decided that people would rather be able to see the definitions
where they are used, rather than having to scroll back to an appendix.
We also could identify no compelling reason to duplicate the definitions
in an appendix, so we did not do so.

One would need to identify a significant interoperability or performance
problem in order for it to merit a revision to the specification. 
I don't think either would apply to this extension.
