I have to admit I didn't look at your examples carrefully but
what I was saying is

* if it is not for acidity, what's the point of sponge?
* if the answer is "none" (as I believe) so is there a reason
  to be explicit about it?

those questions may look like metaphysical traps but they are not:
I'm just beotian when it comes to standardisation and low level.

regards.
