I wonder sometimes if we didn't screw up making any registered option tag automatically usable in both Supported and Require.  Developers or product managers seem to not understand that putting something in Require means the call attempt will fail sometimes, and that users and operators are really really unhappy if call attempts fail.
100rel, for example, is sometimes put in Require with dire unintended consequences.
