So, say something like "If the CPE Router is capable of behaving like a router on its upstream link, it MUST be possible to disable this behavior."?

This avoids the question of whether or not it's desirable (which we could probably argue endlessly), doesn't recommend the behavior, doesn't forbid the behavior, but makes sure the CPE Router can behave appropriately, when the WAN interface is connected to a service provider access network.
