Hi Bruno,

I’m in agreement with Les.  One more points below.

I’m sorry for making a cultural reference, but the best way of explaining this 
is to cite the fairy tale, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. 
(https://www.storyarts.org/library/aesops/stories/boy.html).

If we cry “REQUIRED” when it’s not, then people will ignore us when it is. 
Therefore, we should only resort to “REQUIRED” when it is truly required for 
interoperability. Please see BCP 14.
