Normally, it is, but the deal with spec scripts is that while you don't want to direct, sometimes there is a shot that you feel should be done a specific way. In those highly rare instances where you have to break the fourth wall to get the point across, you are allowed to use those coveted shooting terms, but it should be done with such extreme modertation that the reader understands that you know what you're doing and you just needed the shot visualized more completely than the standard spec format allowed.
POV would be the main one of these little jewels that you should use very sparingly, but the whole point is to tell the story as visually as possible and if there is no spec way to do it, then just get it done however you have to.
That's the problem with writing specs for horror or thriller movies. In those movies, the direction provides much more or the horror/suspense than the writing.
