I don't think it's "a very local interpretation"!
And absolutely it's not an excuse! (Italy, luckily, doesn't write Docs)
If you read carefully my post you can see that I don't approuve this behaviour.
Anyway, if you think that it's so dangerous (and, I repeat, you are absolutly right!), please you have to do a report.
At the appropriate autority, off course, not at an internet forum.
