Broad implementation of course a goal, facilitated by an easy set of
requirements

Looking at it in reverse, an easy, bug-free server implementation will
inform the elements that are selected, at least at first, for solid lite,
from the bigger Solid spec

There is a caveat that timbl has always said that http:// and file://
spaces are part of the web.  I'm sure this is part of the original vision.
The web space and file space working together in a read-write way.

I take a photo on my phone, it goes into my shared folder, and my friends
get a notification.  This seems quite fundamental?

So if this is not mandatory, it should be in one of the early optional.
I'm not 100% convinced it's not mandatory, maybe Tim will say one day.  But
it's fine to compromise on this issue.
