Hmm, I'm reading it the same way as Ted.  Right now, you have a SHOULD use and 
while I'm okay with that, a MUST implement enables the option for the SHOULD 
use, but that they are separate.

If there is a strong enough argument against MTI, I'll be okay with that.  I 
haven't seen it yet.  The SHOULD use can stay to meet some of the arguments 
stated, but can a MUST implement be added?

Thanks,
