Yes, I expect the text of a standard to "unambiguously spell it out." 

As you know, I read things "like a Martian" (ignorant of the context that
earthlings are aware of) so an unambiguous and complete draft text is very
important to me (and any other Martians ;-). In fact, we can't come to
consensus unless those conditions are met, because we all keep thinking
the text means different things.
