I haven't been convinced by your arguments, but I also don't think
there's anything more to say. We'll add whatever prose you want on the
subject of mandatory CSD to the protocol. We've always been able to
abuse the letter of the law to get what we want anyway - sway sets all
windows to maximized so they listen to our pleas for being sized a
particular way, for example. I'm sure that clients that don't want to
implement CSD will continue not to no matter what we put in the
protocol.

I think Simon is working on a v4 patch that should incoporate the
technical feedback and I guess will find a place to mention that CSDs
are mandatory.
