Section 1.1 in draft-wood-storm-rdmap-ext-v2-00.txt lists implementation requirements that state that an implementation needs to support all extensions to be complaint with v2.

We should have optional support for each feature separately and not build it in layers. That will allow an implementation to support a subset of features applicable to an implementation. For example, RDMA read v2 without supporting atomic operations makes sense on a server that does not have PCIe atomics support.
