Section 7 says:

      required  A Boolean value that specifies whether or not the
         attribute is required.

It should say:

      required  A Boolean value that specifies whether or not the
         attribute is required. If an attribute is "required", 
         clients MUST specify the attribute in the PUT request, 
         see section 3.5.1 of RFC7644.

Notes:

The definition of the "required" characteristic is recursive and has no explanatory value. A reference to RFC7644 makes it much clearer.
