Well, if I add too much text just to cater to minority cases or imagined future scenarios, other people would complain that it's too long. In the absence of a concrete suggestion I'll just leave it like it is.

I don't know where you get "most" from, I rather was under the impression "most" is embedded DWARF debuginfo which is not for direct human consumption. There are significant numbers of both, and this spec is meant to be used for both. However, I'm not sure how this relates to the previous points.
