I'd state it this way: a spec needs to be minimally complete The subset implemented by bitcoin-qt allows description of *all* currently desirable bitcoin transactions. The rest of the spec is simply other ways to describe the same = redundancy In case new transaction types are added, the spec obviously needs to be extended. But not with a zillion ways to write "send XXX coins to YYY". Anyway, that's my last word about it.
