Yes, it's our fate I'm afraid. But giving a couple of indications would help. As such it reads as if implementers had to figure out and implement by themselves.
I can't tell about the links, I'm not an expert on this. But as long as an example is given, that others in the group are comfortable with, I'm happy.

Indeed. I can't imagine Figure 3.2.2.1 and Figure 3.2.2.2 with abstract examples!

Well, not only. I guess you could have, say, multiple specific targets with different sources, and each having their own scope. Perhaps you don't need to turn to such an extreme case. Anything that hints about serious cases (that motivate the attachment of scope to specific bodies and targets) would fit.
