I have noticed two errors in your interpretation of the FSC-0056 document.

Excuse me? WHERE does it say that the "minimum required protocol"
should be stated last?

Quote:
    The calling system must list supported protocols first and descending
    order of preference (the most desirable protocol should be listed
    first). The answering system should only present one protocol and it
    should be the first item in the compatibility_codes field.

Besides the fact that "in" is missing from the first sentence, I
don't see anything that would support what you state.

According to whom? Your own personal opinion? If so, mine differs.
