I think they can still be optional, you just lose the ability to check up on
one if it hasn't been provided.

I think a bigger question involves uniqueness: does the server have to start
enforcing unique TRIDs for each client?  Across all clients?  As things are
written right now, the clTRIDs are basically just passed-through data that
the client can use to synchronize commands and responses, and the server
logs them as part of the larger transaction ID.  If the server doesn't
enforce uniqueness you can get multiple hits when trying to determine
status, which may not be helpful.  If the server does enforce uniqueness, it
becomes a bit more complex.
