Yeah, "would" was probably too strong.  Probably more like, "I worry
that someone would believe that…."  The reason, indeed, that we picked
the "requested by" language (it wasn't mine, but one of my IAB
colleagues) was exactly to defuse that sort of problem.  I'm really
trying to be careful not to overstep.  But I can't currently think of
a reason that "such as" is really required.  (Note that it's about
23:30 on the Wednesday of an IETF week, so what I can or cannot think
at this moment may be even a poorer guide to good ideas than usual.)
