Hi,

Just a quick clarification question, and sorry if it's a basic one.  When 
interpreting various spec documents is the qualifier 'should' always taken to 
indicate that something is optional?

Two cases in point:

Bug 41718 was marked as an enhancement request with the explanation of "should 
== optional"

Bug 41722 pertains to a web.xml element that is referred to in the spec once 
with (emphasis mine) "A security-role-ref element *should* contain a role-link 
sub-element..." and then later with "...an optional link to a security 
role(role-link)."

I'm just trying to understand the standards applied when interpreting the spec.

Thanks,

-chris
