The reason I am using ARM DEN 0070A is because the name does not give 
you revision of the specification. So you can't know whether you use rev 
A or B. As new revision may introduce/change behavior, this is very 
helpful to know which specific revision that was used to write the code.
It is also much easier to find on the web the identifier than the title 
as you directly reach to a given version
Anyway, I can mention the full name of the specification in the commit.

Cheers,
