 remember this is a mass-volume standard, the suggestion itself would
cause massive confusion.  think in terms of, "does the FSF allow such
unclear distinctions about RYF Endorsement" and "why not" and the
answer is, "because confusion has disastrous consequences"

 also, which one is "OKAY" if one "lesser variant" of the standard can
kill someone, but the other one can't?

 ... neither are ok, are they?

 no... and i am legally NOT PERMITTED to subdivide continents and
apply different "rules".... because that would be anti-D as in FRAND
as in "Discriminatory".

 nobody gets confused, world-wide, about the Certification Mark "BLE"
or the Certification Mark "HDMI".
