Kind 1 is ugly, but it's also the kind that has the most users by far. This is the value proposition of nostr. I'd take ugliness with interoperability over feature-completeness without interoperability any day.

That's exactly my point. It's not about keeping specs DRY, that's insanity (in code as well as in specs). It's about optimizing for interoperability by focusing on semantics, rather than functionality.
