I intend to reject this suggestion because it doesn't need to be said.
In general, things that are obvious without being said are not included
in technical specifications.

Consider what the response would be if we were to add the opposite
statement, along the lines of "This specification overrides regulatory
terminology and conformance implies compliance with regulations."
Obviously, such a statement would be false, so we don't need to say
the converse either.
