Good catch, and your explanation (especially the SHOULD/MAY bits) looks
good.

I think this is obsoleted by v2, which will send symref info along with
each ref. I don't know if it's worth mentioning that here (the v2 docs
discuss it, but I don't know if this capabilities document is clear
about which ones apply only to v0).
