You're right and I was unclear: my point was really that if we are going
to list any aspirational requirements they have to go into Section 3.3
lest we have no hotels from which to select, and that for those that
gain WG consensus there is still value of listing them there.  As I
wrote in the bullets, these are requirements that are likely to be
gotten when you can get them, and they certainly are gotten from time to
time.   Also, the word "aspirational" isn't really good.  Many of the
requirements being discussed could certainly be met in some venues.
Whether those are otherwise acceptable to the IETF is an entirely
different matter.
