'Fraid you've missed the point, Rex. The issue here isn't whether <instruction> is optional, but whether an implementer is allowed to remap the semantics of the <instruction> field into another element... in this case, <description>. The CAP spec says explicitly that the Data Dictionary (indeed, the whole Alert Message Structure section) is normative. Certain elements may be optional in cardinality, but that doesn't mean their semantics can be redefined at the implementer's whim. - Art
