[dxwg] Normative requirement for list profile tokens operation

== Normative requirement for list profile tokens operation ==
Post FPWD:

https://rawgit.com/w3c/dxwg/conneg-doc/conneg-by-ap/index.html#requestsandresonses

Operations 1 and 2 are MUST, but there is no normative assertion about what clients are to do with the list profile tokens operation.

Proposal:  Servers MUST implement the specification (yes, I know this is not what the informative text says).

Rationale: If the server does not use tokens, then the response is fixed and empty.  Clients can then rely on it rather than testing for for whether it responds correctly or not. The implementation burden is very low, and the interoperability gain relatively high.

Otherwise, I think it's a SHOULD.
