I'm not sure I understand -- I'm not making this up, RFCs use "must" and 
"should" very carefully.  The latter is a guideline, and the former is a 
rule.  I'm trying to find the link describing this but it's eluding me at the 
moment.

I think this is a VERY good thing; RFCs are like the laws of the internet; 
they should not be open to interpretation since they define the protocols  
used to interoperate.
