6.3.6.2, Sentence 2: Is second sentence necessary, and should it be a "shall" statement? #64

6.3.6.2 states: This element shall contain a value uniquely identifying a list of trusted equipment. It is a required member of the AuthorizedDeviceInfo structure.

If Sentence 2 is a normative requirement, then shouldn't it be a "shall" statement?

Further, if elements are all required for compliance, except for those specified as optional or otherwise similarly noted, then the second sentence is confusing and should be deleted.

6.3.6.3 is specified as optional.

6.3.6.4 is not marked as optional, but also does not specify that the element is a required member of the AuthorizedDeviceInfo structure. This will cause confusion.
