Yes it does.

 CN> In FTS-4000 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-4000.001) we can read:

 CN> ============

Here's the *full* paragraph to which you refer:
---------- 8< ----------
  The  and soft  characters (character codes 10 and 141
  respectively) should not be used within a control pragraph. If they
  are, they should be disregarded by any program processing such a
  message or copies thereof.
---------- 8< ----------

And then there's this:

Looks like the document is no longer valid.

The only person who could address your suggestion would be the developer  
but he doesn't monitor this echo :((
