Paragraph 2.2. in the 1966 article is "Valnce-Bond Conventions:
Multiple-Bond Unsaturation and Aromaticity". It contains several
conventions of which convention (b) is the one applying here:
"(b) Contibutions by d orbitals to bonds of quadriligant atoms are
neglected."

Later we can find:
"Convention (b) excludes double-bonded structures of e.g., sulphoxides
and sulphinates."

Clearly this also applies to phosphorus compounds.
