As of spec version 2017-05-25 I can confirm this issue to be resolved.

Just the location of this definition seems strange to me.
When reading section 7.4, in the very end (in 7.4.3) "reads" is used
with no obvious connection to any definition of what it means.
7.7.1 would have been a more natural location for the definition, IMHO.
