I have not, nor will I ever be banned, because I refuse the break the rules, and I stick to the belief that you need to be in the spec you roll on, so if your right, again, I'll say here I'm wrong without a second thought. I believe rolling on a spec item is the right thing to do as well.
However, we're talking about the rules as they are written, and I have seen this done over and over as I stated above.
I reached out, and will follow up when i receive clarification. Have a great day!
