Still speaking only for myself :)

Sorry, but I think this is just an over-reach. There is no necessary
reason for a single information model to break.

And this, of course, is why there isn't such an explicit protocol requirement (and also 
why we weren't able to get to consensus on MUST set CD on queries): these things 
represented protocol changes, however trivial, and people didn't accept they were 
absolutely necessary so the answer was no.  From the point of view of an implementer 
coming along later, however, it sure seems like a gap in the protocol (particularly if 
you want to maximize interoperability).  After all, while we might say, "It's one 
information model and you need to understand the interactions of the model 
components," the chances are good that an implementer will _not_ understand those 
interactions or even componets, and will mess up the implementation accordingly.

Best regards,
