My tuppence worth:

> required is from the component perspective, not from the developer perspective

Therein lies the confusion, for the documentation is read by
developers looking to see what is 'required' from them! (I've yet to
catch my T5 components reading JavaDocs or Googling for answers!)

As the documentation is meant for developers it should focus on their
needs - i.e. what they 'need' to provide to make the component work.

As a developer I'm not looking at components in isolation, but rather,
I'm looking at T5 as a framework. So if the framework provdes defaults
and I don't need to, fantastic! Moreover, I don't need to know that
attribute was ever required, for that's now unimportant information.
