In the Guide version 1.0, we say:

  • that the ExternalRef field is REQUIRED "to be able to put the Package URL"
  • that "A package SHOULD be identified by a Package URL (PURL). The PURL SHOULD be put in ExternalRef field"

To be more consistent, I suggest to say that the ExternalRef field SHOULD be present to be able to put the Package URL.
