I don't know, but I don't think it's the latter - I've heard mention "three-day ISS approach" several times, which sounds specific.

For the CCCiCap optional milestones, the first crewed test flight must be 3 days in-orbit:

Mission Duration: Minimum of 3 days on-orbit

I noticed in this document the following requirements. I don't know if they are new:

Quote
The chosen spacecraft must demonstrate it can serve as a 24-hour safe haven during an emergency in space and be able to stay docked to the station for at least 210 days.

I don't recall the "safe haven" but the 210 days has been consistent with previous documents.

Window space might hurt the Dragon in the downselect.  Both the Libery, Boeing and DC have a ton of window space.

You seem to be confused about where DreamChaser's windows are.

Not confused, just forgot....but you have a point.

ASAP member Mr. Bryan O‟Connor observed that there were a couple of interesting briefings, including one on how they dealt with a problematic technical requirement—manual flight control. Human rating requirements specify that manual control be available wherever it is appropriate. They had to examine this requirement carefully to see if it made sense to keep manual
control as a capability for the commercial vehicles. As a result, this particular requirement may be modified significantly for this program. Orion is looking at the same requirement.

The Shuttle would have been safer to land on autopilot - but what pilot would give up the chance to hand fly it? This requirement, like the one that the NASA personnel wear suits, is irrational and increases cost.

Interesting that people think it would have been safer to land on autopilot.  We studied that extensively and there were several issues with the implementation of the shuttle autopilot and the supporting ground navigation aids.  Every shuttle landing was manually controlled and they were all successful . . .

Buran's autonomous landing was extremely accurate, but made use of significant help from some extremely powerful radio beacons. This basically meant that it could land in just two places in the world autonomously.
But autonomous landing was a fundamental requirement of developing the system. They didn't expected to launch or land with crew until the fifth of so fight. The second flight was supposed to autonomously dock with Mir (that's why Shuttle got the APAS, it was already there). And the third would get an APAS capable Soyuz to dock with it in space to simulate a crew rescue mission.
Besides, I guess they calculated that actually taking a crew for all missions was more dangerous than necessary and more expensive for the payload, since you'd have to man rate it.
And seeing how Dream Chaser/Dragon/CST-100/Orion are designed to do the first missions autonomously, I think that it is a very reasonable requirement.
I'm not stating that autonomous landing is safer than piloted one. Just that having it is a necessity for a safe development program. And a plus if you don't actually need a crew (like cargo runs).

Not to get into a whole semantic thing... but that's not what we used to call autonomous. :)
Human spaceflight is basically just LARPing now.

The control is autonomous, the sensing isn't. Better?

Radio beacons are just that. Beacons.  Those beacons were used from just after atmospheric interface. Not even like an ILS implementation. Remember that they couldn't count on GLONASS yet. What would it take for you to consider it autonomous? That it read a map and look at the terrain features to get its bearings?
Even Wayne Hale said that the issue was the ground navigational aids.

This post is also relevant to this thread:

FWIW, a revision of CCT-REQ-1130, "ISS Crew Transportation and Services Requirements Document" showed up on NTRS recently:
https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20170001943

(Attached here, as well.)

Here is the attached document (i.e., version 2016 of CCT-REQ-1130):
