By "addressed", you appear to mean the specification intentionally does
nothing about them, and the prose reinforces the point that those issues
have not been reflected in changes to the spec.  While each issue may be in
the excluded 20% of an 80-20 solution, .80*.80*.80*.80 = .41 (i.e. we have a
41% solution).
