You're right, but the rules are totally independant of the file format 
standard.

If the band-category and the power-category were optional, the specs 
would have been be clear on that. And they must be marked between [] 
(like the mode-category).

If it is *their* choice to *ignore* the band-category and the 
power-category, no problem. But they must not *reject* logs which are 
compliant with *their* standerd !

One can find plenty of excuses but : They're wrong. Period.

It's the last post on this topic for me.
