"Attempts to refresh from the authorities are recommended to be done no more 
frequently than every 30 seconds" feels like a recommendation because of the 
words "are recommended".

What is confusing is whether or not they are recommendations. If they are 
recommendations, why don't they appear in Section 4 with SHOULD and MAY 
languages? If they are not, how is an implementer meant to read them?
