   | Do you think the text you quoted satisfies the "unless otherwise 
specified?"

I think "unspecified whether it is removed at A or B" is fairly clear
that it is intended to be removed.

I don't disagree that the wording about all of this could be better,
but the best way to make it better would be to first agree on what
it should say, or there will just be more "unspecified whether..."

If it's going to be unspecified, it will be because there are conflicting
implementations, not because we can't decide on the right language.
