It's not unfortunate, it's deliberate. That's because the RFT applies 
only to data centre facilties, not what's inside data centres.

Section 1.3 is quite specific on this point:
"For the purposes of this SoR, government data centre sites are defined 
as purpose built, permanent, shared enterprise facilities that can house 
the full range of ICT equipment currently used or that will be used by 
Agencies. The SoR is applicable to any space that provides electricity, 
cooling, fire suppression and/or security to data centre ICT such as 
servers, networks and data storage."

Most of your comments are relevant to "the full range of ICT equipment 
currently used or that will be used by Agencies", not to the RFT for 
facilities - a building with power supplied to the wall.
