Nah, Pterry would clarify more, probably via a footnote.  Something like
"This is historical*."  [Interesting guy, wish I'd got that half hour
radio interview with him]

CVSNT is dynamic enough to change things that are historical, though.
Although Tony tries to maintain compatibility wherever feasible.

P.S. "* This is a way of people saying that this was initially done for
no good reason, it's been like that for as long as anyone can remember

Ankh, which is almost as solid as concrete but smells somewhat worse."
