Q:
Specializations weapon restriction.
A:
yes but can’t they limit it to equiped weapons.For instance, you stay a DH while weapon swapping but lose it when you unequip the bow
You obtain the spec (and the ability to use the weapon) by choosing the Elite Specialization (trait line), you don’t obtain the spec by slotting the weapon. Logically, you lose the weapon by dropping the trait line, not vice versa. While they could do as you suggest, it’s not very logical to do so. Using dual systems to cancel the spec would be both redundant and confusing. Can I guarantee ANet won’t do this? No, but I would be surprised if they did — and I’m usually pessimistic about them.
Why do you think that?
Anyway watch the video of the mesmer, he is using the new elites with staff.
If you think about it, they cannot limit an Elite Spec to its weapon, because of weapon swap. Take Necro, which we know is getting Greatsword. If that limit were to exist, what could the Necro put in Weapon Slot 2?

Elite specialization will only add 1 new weapon you can use (not mandatory), 1 new trait line (this one is mandatory) and a set of 1 heal, 3 utilities and 1 elite skill (not mandatory), and that is it.

actually they should just give each class the new weapon regardless of whether the person spec for it or not

This is highly unlikely and would lead to frustration more than anything, in part due to all your traps unequiping the moment you unequip the longbow. It is far more likely that we will simply be able to use core profession weapons alongside elite specialization weapons and u-skills.
Whether we lose access to certain core skill types (signets, shouts, etc), or a specific weapon or two, we do not yet know, but I do not believe they will restrict us to the new weapons only.
