Unfortunately, those are the rules. I'm kind of unhappy with them. It could be so much more detailed and terse. I might try and touch it up or even just write my own version of it and try to get it accepted. The problem is that this spec has been picked over for quite some time now, and major changes to it will require some heavy scrutiny to verify factual correctness, so even if somebody was to pick up this ball immediately it might be a while for things to stabilize. I recommend, in the mean time, asking specific questions on these forums or in the IRC channel.
