It is just for "historic" reasons. I can fix it in documentation but old documentation is still in place (it is installed e.g. as docs in various distros). It could make the problem even worse. (And changing tools means breaking user scripts which is even worse.) It is not the first standard which uses pseudo-code description while real implementation differs in details. > That makes communication difficult. I do not think so. When dealing with users problem always the tool output is important. The slot offsets depends on key size so you must have always proper luksDump output for the device.
