Yes, but the text version is "not required to be implemented by conforming implementations". The wrong tradeoff, in my opinion.

It's optional, so if the need you identified exists it will be implemented. Its essential selling-point is compactness, so being the target, the path of least resistance should be optionally allowing the text-form, not building around it.
