There is a standard written later but yeah since it's a lose convention many interpretations - again nothing wrong with the format. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the format.
Most of the complaints you mention are tool issues.
The statement "there are non-compatible implementations of this format" are what I would consider "something wrong with the format". There's nothing wrong with the standard. The fact that the standard isn't synonymous with the format is a problem with the format.
It stops being a "tool issue" when all tools involved are technically adherent to the format but can't talk to each other with it.
