+The request specification is mostly backward compatible. The only required changes are in the request header. Specifically the header of the fits extension must
+have the following keywords
+
+ * EXTNAME = 'PS1_PS_REQUEST'       - same as V1
+ * EXTVER = '2'
+ * ACTION = 'PROCESS'                        - New keyword. PROCESS is currently the only supported value
+ * EMAIL = 'user@domain'                      - New keyword. 
+
+
+In the request specification rows, the new columns are not required to be set. The parser defaults them appropriately. Users are strongly encouraged to
+use the SURVEY (3PI, MD01, etc) in their requests. If it is missing or NULL the system sets it to 3PI for coordinate based lookups (REQ_TYPE bycoord and by skycell)
