Nope, it was always intended as a shorthand, not a package (okay, I can't talk for Robin, but *I* intended it as a shorthand).
The list of abilities was meant to be a starting point for the players to get going, not a restrictive list. After all, everyone should know "maintain equipment", "Identify tools or things of importance to the occupation", Secret [occupation] handshake" etc. but leaving them off the list doesn't mean that the hero doesn't know them, just that we're such lazy sods that we didn't bother to list them.
