This is what we do here: we specify what must be implemented to get interop.

We can argue about whether some group that you can't implement _now_
should be required to implement.  We can argue about other groups that
others can't implement _now_.  We can't really have no
required-to-implement groups.  Well, we could, but not as an
Standards-Track RFC.
