I don't know that anyone has suggested putting it in the spec *only* to apply pressure to vendors. Certainly that is an added "bonus" (I'll put that in quotes because not everyone will consider that a positive thing), and certainly doing so will achieve the goal of applying pressure. But I agree that putting it in the spec to *only* apply pressure to vendors is not reasonable, but considering it as an additional reason to put it in the spec, is quite reasonable.<p>
