Yes that’s absolutely correct but AP2 has, like many protocols today,
has a fair bit of complicated ways, especially around auth. 

Another example of a protocol going mad is mpeg-dash where people
specifying it cracked their brains with options and combination to
represent the same information. Designing standards is something I know
quite well and they fell into the problem of server-sided designs
without realizing the complexity impact on clients. A very common
mistake. The result is that servers can chose to implement any subset
that fits them but clients, which are the most constrained and
distributed “nodes” have to implement them all. Totally insane.
