Wait, are "beauty" and "taste" a requirement now? :) I do agree though that the protocol might not be present everywhere. I had searched the UEFI spec for mentions of this protocol -- when a protocol is mandatory, it is stated so in other parts of the spec (separately from the description of the protocol member functions).
