This is not about blame avoidance. Blame avoidance is what happens right
now on this very list, with author domains and mail receivers first
blaming each other, then colluding to accuse absentee forwarders…

This is about avoiding the Tragedy of Commons where everyone waits for
the breakage to somehow solve itself (or, more cynically, for the victim
to resignate). The standard can help by clearly stating who has to act
in which circumstances. A MUST is better than a SHOULD, an it might well
be that two SHOULDs are worse than just one.

Cheers,
Baptiste
