Some potential options:
(a) Add "directory" as a synonym to the spec and add "dir" as

(c) Change CPAN sites to follow the spec, despite breaking many
distributions' current indexing.
Randy Sims keeps some statistics on the META.yml files that exist on
CPAN, perhaps he could tell us the relative frequencies of 'dir' vs.
'directory' in the wild?
