Craig referred to it as counter example in some comments and I just
observe inconsistency between the comment and common practise of the
SVG Working Group, so I assume I might be misunderstanding the comment
and seek clarification.

I don't think that can be helped then, any specification that gets
revised after smaller parts of it have advanced in some sense will
face this problem and obfuscating the notes or removing them does
not really remove confusion in my opinion, the goals of the document
and it's relationship to other work is explained in the first parts
of the document.
