Status: Accepted
Change Description: none
Rationale:

The specifications are actively being aligned, and are in sync on the vast
majority of the content. If however you expect them to be in sync at any given
time, well, the only way that can happen is if they were the same document —
and that isn't the case.

The specific difference you cite is both small and recent. It is unreasonable
to expect it to be synced immediately. Note that it is purely editorial (and
was included deliberately) and makes no difference to script. It's just a
simpler expression of the same thing that does not introduce any
interoperability issues.

To summarise: we're aware that sync is needed, and we're working on it. I don't
believe that having a bug open on the topic helps.
