I think the logic behind that is that an EAPI defined outside PMS wouldn't be bound by PMS's rules anyway, and the EAPIs defined inside PMS are explicitly listed so there's not much point giving a general syntactic rule as well (and if there was one, it might encourage people to write code that blows up messily when it sees a hypothetical non-PMS EAPI that doesn't obey the rule, rather than simply treating it as unknown).
