Review Comment:
   "Must be called exactly once" sounds like it is controlled by connector. I 
think a better way to say "will be called exactly once".
   
   I am also not sure about the last sentence on releasing resources. Instead 
of saying "should not release resources", I think we better describe the 
sequencing of calls so that connectors make an informed call on their end when 
to do what.
