So I agree with the strict checking. However this is just syntactical 
correctness. What is important as well is the semantic of the request, 
i.e., a monitored evts connection is not the same as a non-monitored 
connection, though they have the same syntax. IMHO such should have 
different service definitions (should become more clear with the 
serviceType vs. serviceDefinition discusison, which I haven't replied to 
yet).
