I absolutely agree.
Furthermore imho it definitely is not the task of a specification to deal with 
or take care of bugs and flaws of implementations, even if it is such a 
widespread and well known one.

Why shall all implementors be forced to follow a move of a change in a spec in 
respect of only a single faulty implementation?
