It's an assumption there will be an option to disable it. This is up to the firmware
implementation, not the spec. Arguably that is a flaw in the ratified spec. But the place
for it now is, ironically, in the Windows 8 Logo Program.
You'd still find hardware that does not participate in that program, which then
aren't bound to supply hardware allowing the disabling of Secure Boot. Apple will be
one such company that falls under this.
