Why are you so sure that was the intention of the wording, when the wording says something entirely different? "only have to specify" has a distinct and exact meaning in English, but you are so sure your interpretation is correct (against all prior art --- look at the hello package, and see how many letters the standards version specifies) that you want to ignore what is written and push your own interpretation on it. Even if the intention was what you say (and I think it was not -- I think the intention was what was actually written), it would be wrong, since every single package in the distribution would have to be changed, for no benefit whatsoever.
