No need for that AFAIK (see below).

Well, "no guarantee"...  unless a safe way of doing it is specified!
And this is already the case with 4rd-addmapping-01.
(If you would keep doubts after a careful check, please share your 
understanding.)
 
The modified format discussed in Beijing with Xing Li, Congxiao Bao, and 
Wojciech Dec, to be documented soon, will have the same property.

No need for that (see above).
