Actually, I believe there is an ITU-R Recommendation that specifies
the "International Morse Code" in typical ITU detail.


Operative word is recommendation, which is exactly what I said.

Yet the FCC demands that one passes an exam or be denied access.

Shouldn't they have a definition of what is being examined?

They have defined it as 5wpm. The details are left up to the NCVEC just
like the details of the writtens are left up to the NCVEC.

Nonsense. The FCC specified Morse at 5wpm rate. Farnsworth is a
method for learning fast Morse code, thus the characters are sent at
13-15wpm.

Amateur radio and electronics includes many methods of learning, but I
doubt the FCC would allow the answer to the resistor color code to be:
"BAD BOYS RAPE OUR YOUNG GIRLS BUT VIOLET GIVES WILLINGLY," yet it is
a commonly used learning technique.
