I had meant "required" in that context as a prerequisite of things
generally functioning with most/all SPs. That is, not required
hypothetically on technical grounds but required to work with existing
configurations to a large degree.
That makes sense though, sounds like many things in information
technology.

Ok, that's consistent with what we discussed at the shib install fest I
attended earlier this year.
Thanks for these answers, they give me much to work with.
