Is parameter-names mandatory or optional?

[ghobona]

collection.yaml declares:

type: object
required:
  - links
  - id
  - extent
  - parameter-names

However, Step 6 of Abstract Test 14 says "Verify that if the collection entry includes an parameter-names property, the property complies with /req/edr/rc-parameters".

The use of the word 'if' implies that parameter-names is optional.

Recommended actions:

1. Update the text or the yaml file to clarify whether parameter-names is optional or not.
2. Fix the typo "an parameter-names property" should be "a parameter-names property"

NOTE: The presence of a parameter-names or parameter_names property is currently (at v1.0.0) the only way to determine whether a collection is an EDR collection or not. So the property is very helpful.
