>> 1. The protocol MUST enable policy options, not dictate them.

Yes.  It is in the nature of standards that they can't force anyone to
do anything, just tell people how to interoperate.

>> 2. We MUST only specify features that are already required/implemented by

Yes.  It would be fine to keep a laundry list of features that someone would
like to add eventually but don't currently qualify.

R's,
