For a proposal to change the specification as well as the implementation to return something different with incompatibility, it'd be good to do it as a separate RFE and discuss what was considered when the implSpec was decided to print the unqualified class name.

I have promoted the implementation specification to API specification, describing that we will investigate in another RFE. Please review the latest revision and the CSR.
