A BIG amen to that.  And while they are at it, they should drop the 
requirement for the corresponding audio message if a voice file is 
present.  At best, it irritates/confuses the listener with them 
potentially mentally or literally "tuning out" before you get to the 
important audio... that which emergency management created.  At worst... 
for various technical reasons the emergency management audio actually 
gets truncated so it can't be heard...

By my reading "between the lines"... the authors of the ECIG CAP EAS 
Implementation guide hoped this requirement would have been tossed long ago:

    *3.6.3 CAP/EAS Alert Text with the FCC Required Text*
    /Presently, the FCC requires that alert text accompanying EAS alerts
    must at least consist of "A sentence//
    //containing the Originator, Event, Location and the valid time
    period of the EAS message constructed from//
    //the EAS ZCZC Header Code as required in [3] Part 11.51(d)
    "[referred to herein as the FCC Required//
    //Text]. While this requirement is in effect, the CAP messages need
    to be constructed by Originators in a//
    //manner that provides the additional CAP descriptive information
    without adding redundancy. If the FCC//
    //requirement is dropped in the future, then CAP messages SHOULD be
    constructed to include these//
    //relevant details.
    /
