Asked and answered? I mean, you've already classified this as not a bug but a wish, or a feature request.
I don't see it as unreasonable to claim the lack of documentation regarding known alternative representations that could be accepted as input is a bug. The actual report isn't even asking for us to implement acceptance of those formats, just make it clear when someone gets that error and checks the docs that the error is valid.
