Lars, you keep asking this question.
I guess my answers so far where not satisfactory.
Let me try again.

ASR and PM will be used by potentially different people.

Implementors will need to know ASR 
Experts who create ASR will need to know PM
ASR-s can be different for different software implementations,
that is why I was suggesting the notion of "Universal ASR" 
which needs a separate specification, may be "infoset-like".

Here is a great metaphor
(at least it seams to great me right now as I just thought of it :-))

ASR is the anatomical atlas,
PM is the DNA

Let us say you are Dr. Frankenstein, then
anatomical atlas is sufficient.
(actually king Pygmalion needed even less :-))
However if you want things to work without
magic, you better learn DNA. 

That's my thought.
