Actually, I believe there is an ITU-R Recommendation that specifies
the "International Morse Code" in typical ITU detail.


Operative word is recommendation, which is exactly what I said.

"Recommendations" can be mandatory, if they are "incorporated
by reference" in the ITU Radio Regulations ... use of "shall" which
means "must" as opposed to "should" which means "is strongly
encouraged, but not strictly mandatory" or "may" which means
"if you feel like it" (more or less).

Don't try to lecture me on regulatory ... that's what I do for a
living (and for a couple of major industry organizations, plus
NCI)
