While true, being a violation that is, I wouldn't worry about it. 
I.e., make the script loose here.  It's like doing 60 in a 55 zone, 
on paper it's an infraction but it makes no material difference.

There are many places where the old RFCs either over or under 
specified actions.  This is a case over over specification.
