Less typing is less error-prone.

How to abbreviate information does not matter. When one implements an OS, she
must put the definition at somewhere anyway. Even if we provide a sample
implementation, not all people won't use it, because there are various
assemblers and compilers. For example, if our example is for GNU as, nasm
users won't use it. So the spec must be simple.
