If I'm not misunderstanding what you're saying,
Michael, that is the most unusual definition of "standard" I have ever seen in
my quarter century of working on standards.
Then what does it mean to be MUST in the core DITA
standard?
More to the point, what is the core DITA standard
standardizing?

Looks good, Jeff - with the caveat
though that even though the core is MUST and the specializations are
RECOMMENDED or OPTIONAL, a specialization may introduce behavior that
overrides the core.
In other
words, all behavior, core and specialized, is overrideable.
