A correct spec will not solve the problem, because we already have the problem. I believe that the solution is to take action and not to wait for someone else to act upon this. What are the chances that we all agree on using "-" for cygwin? (I think "-" is a bad choice because a dash could be part of a domain name, but it's not a problem if that's what is decided upon). Who is the maintainer of fetchmail, so that we can get him/her into this thread?
