I think it's intentional, though. This model is specifically talking about Europe, I believe, but they leave things slightly ambiguous because what's what in the UK may not be what's what in France (ok, not may not, but IS NOT).

In IA they tend to leave things open without using precise language because things differ from country to country, or region to region. They try to use it as a catch all.

Bugs the hell outta me, too.

It seems to defeat the purpose of having a categorizing systems if things within the category vary too greatly in some cases and don't vary enough between categories in others.
