SRD on Enchantments

Looking through the SRD, I see that virtually every single Enchantment spell is labeled as both Mind Affecting and Compulsion, from Suggestion, to Aid, to Power Word: Kill. That can't be right, can it?

EDIT: It's also in disagreement with what the DMG says.

It says (on page 291): "A Compulsion overrides the subject's free will or in some way changes the way the subject's mind works. A charm makes the subject a friend of the caster. A compulsion makes the subject obey the caster."

Bless (among many other enchantments) doesn't do anything even remotely like this.

I think it is lunacy that the Power Word spells are enchantment. They should be Necromancy! Duh.

At least it's a step in the right direction, they used to be Conjuration! :\
