Note that the testable assertion was already in the spec, just buried in the normative pseudocode. So this is really about clarification from the spec perspective. And of course any bug fix can change behavior. In hindsight i would be more inclined to do a CSR if a bug fix is required to conform to specification.

Here we go:

Kindly requesting a reviewer.

Thanks,
