Interesting question.  I think the answer is that you can submit a
requirement without providing the motivation for it but that you
can then expect the kind of attention that an unmotivated issue
would naturally receive, viz., none.

I'll put this on the agendas for this week's TC calls and see
whether anyone has another opinion.  If you want to explain this
further, dial in to the Atlantic call.
