Opinion :-) Note that I said treat as MUST unless you have clear evidence
otherwise, i.e. you have to actually read the document (and its updates)
and understand the protocol and its context to work out what parts of the
description have the force of requirements. I phrase it that way because
"surely not!" reactions like yours are often followed by "but this part
says otherwise" which is kind of my point :-)
