That’s a good way to write a law but regulations are guidance under which the regulator won’t come after you when it considers law enforcement action i.e. the law enforcement agency’s interpretation of the law and your obligations under it. They can afford to get into the nitty gritty, and it can even be beneficial for them to do so for all involved.

This way lawyers don’t have to divine from the law that noindex and nofollow tags might invite enforcement action, if they have even heard of them before, they can read the regs, and advise their companies and clients properly.
