The year does not "exclude" other years. It refers to a particular
orthography, defined in a particular source or set of sources. The
year is not calendrical.

Since there is more than one academy version the requirement is for
greater precision. We went over this at very great length when we
dealt with older orthographies for French, and in my judgement the
principles we agreed there should apply here.
