Although the wording is a bit awkward, the requirement is pretty 
straightforward.

Enforcement is by giving or withholding the IETF standards imprimateur.

Obviously requirements cannot be enforced behaviorally.  You may run any 
darn thing you choose to run.

However violating the above requirements means that what you run will not 
be an IETF standard.
