Do you think there is a way to get ARM ltd to make a better effort
at this with a future specification? I suppose it would be extremely
helpful if there was a way to specify more of the required information,
and to require everybody to fill in correct data, in the same way that
architecture compliance gets enforced on the CPU core.
