I've seen it occasionally.  I think that if the sense in which B
updates A is narrow enough that it's easy to specify what's updated,
it's quite useful to say what's updated.  I doubt you'll get any
DISCUSSes if you don't, but anything that will help the reader make
better use of both specs is a good thing.
