The use of MUST means 'other applications, including but not limited to the window manager, can rely on pagers sending a _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP message when they wish to switch virtual desktop'. If you remove that, then the spec becomes less useful. If you want a private protocol, just do a private protocol. Trying to claim EWMH compliance for it doesn't make any sense, since private protocols _by definition_ are out of scope for EWMH.
