And it does!

And actually Simon Budig found out that this is spec compliant:

"The Dedicated Charging Port shorts the D+ and D- pins with a resistance
of at most 200Ω. The short disables data transfer, but allows devices to
detect the Dedicated Charging Port and allows very simple, high current
chargers to be manufactured."

I guess it is just a matter of time that newer "USB chargers" implement
this.
