This difference does not exist as far as the
GSL and the
4e SRD are concerned.

This may or may not be true, but the
GSL and the
4e SRD do not say anything about such an intention.

What instructions do you have in mind? There is a prohibition on redefinition of
4e References - which is the prohibition that gave rise to the original post in this thread - but there is no prohibition on attempting to establish some concept as "core" in your sense, nor any direction to do, or to refrain from doing, some such thing.
