Having the IAOC document how a particular venue selection has diverged 
from the existing specification is quite different from a suggestion 
that the specification contain language noting that things might change 
(at some unknown point in the future and in some unknown ways.)

My comment was about the several points in your original note that were 
of the latter type.
