Description
The last item of \mandates and
the first item of \expects
are subsumed by the "Effects: Equivalent to:" semantics.
However, the \expects ends with
\begin{note}
These conditions ensure that the mapping returned by \tcode{submdspan_mapping}
matches the algorithmically expected index-mapping given the slice specifiers.
\end{note}
So perhaps the redundancy for \expects is intended.
Although it can be rephrased to allude to subsumed preconditions.
I think the last item of \mandates can still be removed without problems.

Research direction
Search the TeX sources for the [mdspan.submdspan.submdspan] subclause and inspect p4.3 and p5.1 alongside the mandates, expects, and Effects wording. Resolve whether the mandates item is redundant and whether expects needs rephrasing; done when the wording and source text consistently reflect that decision.
