Yes, they are. The spec defines many ways to define some things (not a 
very good idea IMO), like it has many places where you can put the TLD.

I've been saying that for a while in a few messages if you look at the 
archives. I've been emailing the spec people while I was working at Sun, 
but I have been politely ignored on that issue :-(

Oh well, if it's not implementable, then we won't implement it ;-)

I'll make a proposal soon (let's say by wed) to rewrite the mapper, and 
it will partially handle the new spec requirements.
