 This specification defines two classes of triples, the Mandatory to Implement (MTI) and the Optional to Implement (OTI).
 The MTI triples are essential to basic appraisal processing as illustrated in {{-rats-arch}} and {{-rats-endorsements}}.
-Every Verifier MUST support the MTI triples, if CoRIM processing is supported by the Verifier.

 The second set of triples is included in this specification as they are generally useful across profiles and are optional to implement (OTI).
 A CoRIM Verifier SHOULD implement OTI triples.
 Verifiers may be constrained in various ways that may make implementation of the OTI class infeasible or unnecessary.
