I just had a near miss with XdgOutputV1(version2) which luckily we were able to easily guard. Had the spec claimed that in version2 sending xdg_output.name was mandatory we would have been completely screwed.
Unfortunately, I have bad news. We're screwed. I poked people to clarify the language that is used in many specs. Here's the summary: if a spec says that an event is sent after creating an object and nowhere it says that the event is optional, then the compositor _must_ send the event.
xdg_output::description is an optional event because the spec mentions it. On the other hand, xdg_output::name is mandatory because the spec has no a single word about it being optional.
