Which spec? Even in this discussion we completely mixed different
things. 440FX is not a chipset.

Yes, it is. It's a single silicon package with a defined pinout. If you don't believe me, re-read the spec.

It's a MCM with the PIIX3 being internally connected. The connection between the i440fx and PIIX3 happens to be PCI but that's not always the case. Sometimes it's a proprietary bus.

Aren't they two distinct chips, together comprising the chip-set?

One (the northbridge) converts the system bus to PCI + some extra wires, the other (southbridge) bridges PCI to ISA and contains some embedded ISA devices. IIRC there are some wires between them that are not PCI.
