The sentence just before the quoted one above says:

  "The format of this string is device- and type-dependent."

and then the text says:

  "How a client can learn which types and locations are present on a
  certain device is outside the scope of this document."

So the exact procedure is currently left to the vendors, but may be
standardized in a future document (if possible...)

Ok, this probably makes sense.  I will check w/ the WG and other
documents.

Seciton 2 is more of a background, non-normative section.  It lists
some of the design objectives.

I think the first one should not be OPTIONAL, but the second one is
correct.  So I suggest this:

  It is defined as being optional in the data model, but if the type
  represents a physical interface, it MUST be specified.
