Interesting! I have no argument with what you say, it makes perfect sense, but it must be one of those things that "goes without saying" -- I can't claim to be a Linux guru, but in the years I've spent with Linux and with a fair amount of reading, I never saw that stated, nor was it ever implied enough for me to infer that (nor did I ever have occasion to run into a problem because of it (I am not the OP).)
It's pretty clearly defined in the standards, but few people read them. :-)
