Description

I suggest adding a point to the https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/main/MSC_CHECKLIST.md along the lines of

- [ ] requirement levels for the proposed change and all its aspects are clearly stated

This should improve clarity and avoid situations such as https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/pull/2410#discussion_r3586691433

Add a checklist item requiring clear requirement levels for the proposed change and all its aspects, with wording consistent with nearby entries.
