As suggested by  Ludovic Rousseau in this comment:
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/pull/2053#issuecomment-1546227385

I would like to know why:

http://pcscworkgroup.com/Download/Specifications/pcsc3_v2.01.09.pdf
"3.1.3.2.3 ATR" says:
"For contactless ICCs, the IFD subsystem must construct an ATR from the fixed elements that identify the cards.

Was this chosen because there is no way that a real ATR could have the same format?

Is there some reference in any recent versions of  ISO/IEC 7816-3 that says this is OK to use this constructed ATR?
  Thanks.
