The native (american) english speaker within me disagrees, and the RFC about the language of RFCs seems to also disagree... https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc2119/ "MUST This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or "SHALL", mean that the definition is an absolute requirement of the specification." "SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course." live well, vagrant
