The AoE standard appears to have no CRC field. Is this in violation of the ethernet standard?

I've been debugging AoE in one of my setups.

In it I noticed that the AoE packets do not seem to have checksum fields on the frames. I looked up the AoE specification and it doesn't seem to have CRC checksums on the ends of the packets defined.

Is the checksum field optional?

Found this AoE pdf with frame diagrams showing the crc.
It looks like originated from Coraid.
