I think the intention of the change is reflecting what everyone’s doing anyway,
so from that point of view seems fine.
The SHOULD could maybe benefit from an example of where it might be
inappropriate, as it sometimes is - e.g. if one of the newly provided values
conflicts somehow with an elided value the sensible thing could be for the
server to reset the elided value to default (or another value). This could also
be done by not making in normative, but just stating the intention that the
client isn’t trying to change elided values.
In general, I think that when adding more restrictive language to a Final XEP
it’s worth including a note about the change (or a namespace bump, which seems
terribly inappropriate here).
