Perhaps te scripts et al shuld be called one *possible*
reference implementation? I think that it would still be useful to
have one a reference implementation that vendors may choose to follow.

Firstly, I think that the documentation should be created in
any case. If the implementation is deemed a reference one, rather
than mandatory, this should satisfy the BSD folks (and others, who do
things very differently from the reference).
Of course, the LSB may choose to make the reference
implementation mandatory for the Linux distribution conformance to
the LSB, but that is a Linux internal requirement that does not
impact the wider DocBook community.
