This can be construed that assignments and redirections are not included, and command as used there is only the words that are what should be the command name and any arguments. Example: a="" $(does-not-write-a-command-to-stdout-but-exits-5) argish1 would have the 5 as new value for $?. If the command name does not name a function, built-in, or file on the path, the result from the command substitution would override the 127 return of "command not found". I'm not saying this is the intent, just that it can be read that way and lead to some of the differences discussed.
