That's my understanding, too.

I don't remember.  I thought I had looked it up someplace, but I didn't
document it.

would be fine.  However, I don't see anything that says it can't be
there, either.  But it is extraneous.

Searching on the web a bit, I see that the APP0005 has confused windows.
It does look to be wrong.  Maybe deleting it would be a good idea.
