Not sure what this really means.

I guess I know what you mean but the bullet point itself does not
really convey whay I guess you wanted to say.

You probably mean SOAP/HTTP. The difference between "MUST work" and 
"MUST work well" also remains somewhat unclear.

[And looking at the ID, I am not really clear how the SOAP/HTTP transport
 mapping (I continue to dislike the term "application protocol" in the
 NETCONF documents) is supposed to works - or my understanding of HTTP
 1.1 chunked transfers is wrong. But now I am discussing the ID and not
 the bullet points so this remark is off topic for this thread.]
