We're aware of this issue not only thanks to your feedback.

We're addressing things step by step. And this point
becomes a lot more 
important now that other things have been fixed. I wish I
could already 
give you your desired answer but currently I can't.
But: Yes we are aware of this probem and will address it!

There's always one more problem left to be solved ;) But
that doesn't 
mean that all already existing solutions to other problems
are 
completely useless IMO.
Besides or goal was simplification so I'm a little bit
amazed to see 
that you call the new specification template
'sophisticated'. Just 
because the new template contains more content than the old
version 
doesn't mean its more complicated compared to the former
version. 
Further more its possible to hide nearly every help directly
embedded 
into the document. So basically the new template consist of
just 2 pages!

Regards,
Tino
