I don't think there is something like reading a spec too literally.
Specs are meant to be read literally. If a specification is open to
interpretation, you don't need it. So I'd rather say I've found a bug
in the spec. ;-)

As you already seem to be working on the NBD mailing list, do you want
to fix this, or should I subscribe and send a patch myself?
