maybe saying that theoretical perspectives suggest XYZ, but that these theories haven't been extensively tested empirically so there's no clarity as to what should be done in practice?..

yeah, so perhaps just make this more explicit? I think the original sentence doesn't bring this point across

In fact, I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "an established way" here... Aren't lexical representations created and strengthened through experience with language? Nation's lexical legacy hypothesis would be relevant for this discussion I think?

why not phrase this in a simpler way, e.g., "lexical quality refers to the extent to which a word's representation specifies its sound, spelling, and meaning"? I think you should also cite Perfetti btw ;) I also agree with the comment above regarding "an established way" to create lexical reps.

Tbh, I find both the original and the revised statements wordy and confusing. It sounds like you are trying to summarise Perfetti's lexical quality hypothesis?
