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).
