Ah, OK, so my understanding is correct? (I feel like I've bumped into
this multiple times, but it probably didn't stick because it makes so
little sense to me.)

Indeed, funny. It's also funny to have that 'required' field, which is
all 'false' -- but that kinda goes to your binding review too: there's
an overabundant use of "optional", to avoid defining real requirements
on a per-IP basis.
