Your statements are contradictory.  RS-232 is most definitely an
electrical specification.  If I sell a C compiler and I say that it's
ANSI C, that means that it should conform to certain clearly defined
specifications.  The same thing applies when you use RS-232 to describe
a serial interface.  It should generate the signaling voltages that are
clearly specified in the "Recommended Standard", or it's not compliant
and it shouldn't be labeled as RS-232 without using some kind of
disclaimer.  That doesn't mean that it won't work most of the time.  ;-)
