No objections but as earlier this whole section feels like aspirational level 1 material that only impacts boot ROMs.
It is aspirational, but I want to get this language into the spec now to start setting expectations, and to get feedback on the structure from SoC vendors before a v1.0 of the spec is tagged. Using 'should' instead of 'shall' means it isn't manditory and allows it to be discussed.
I'll post v2 shortly. It's a bit shorter and simpler now.
I'll take a look.
I remain worried about having aspiration recommendations alongside hard requirements (I think it conditions people to ignore recommendations because they assume them to be unachievable) but let's see.
Daniel.
Cheers, g.
