Some implementations are able to look at the values sent by the client, but it's unlikely that such behavior would work for MAP, unless coded for it explicitly.
Still, that may be a nice feature if it makes sense for the client to makes suggestions, MAP wise. I'm ok with tweaking the text to allow it, but the text must by clear that that's just a hint, the server may ignore it completely and the client must use whatever it receives.
