address@hidden is an array of u32's, each one representing an information 
request.
 
-Note: it doesn't garantee that any tags of type @samp{mbi_tag_types} will
-actually be present. E.g. on a videoless system even if you requested tag
address@hidden no tags of type @samp{8} will be present in mbi.
+If this tag is present and @samp{optional} is set to @samp{0}, the bootloader 
must
+support the requested tag and be able to provide relevant information to the 
image
+if it is available. If the bootloader does not understand the meaning of the 
requested
+tag it must fail with an error. However, if it supports a given tag but the 
information
+conveyed by it is not available the bootloader does not provide the requested 
tag in
+the Multiboot2 information structure and passes control to the loaded image as 
usual.
+
+Note: The above means that there is no guarantee that any tags of type 
@samp{mbi_tag_types}
+will actually be present. E.g. on a videoless system even if you requested tag 
@samp{8}
+and the bootloader supports it, no tags of type @samp{8} will be present in 
the Multiboot2
+information structure.
