Exactly. I would like to have a SHOULD provide an interface (without which, I
can't determine why I can't interoperate with product FOO), but I agree with
Tero, I really don't want logos/etc. to be dependant on it.

Yes.

I would like people to document an interface, but I have no desire to expose
it to users.  In your Android example, I'm perfectly happy with having a
shell and a netlink/pfkey socket as the "interface".
