It's no more illogical than some of other style guidelines.<br /><br />If I was more commercially oriented, I'd have trademarked Lager Dark Mild.

It's not so much a style defition as a dumping ground.<br /><br />The one in the chart is clearly a Spezial Dunkles. So I guess it would be lumped in with Munich Dunkles.<br /><br />Style guidelines committees have done a particularly bad job of analysing dark Lager styles.
