Yes, it would be useful.  However, getting agreement on the 
(political, and other) correctness of such text might take more time 
and energy.  I'm not saying adding something shouldn't be done, just 
that this also is a tradeoff.

I never participated in the WG, but having a 5 minute look at the 
archives gave an indication of the problem (steam had run out a long 
time ago).
