Fragment forwarding is a MUST in our standards.

This document is BCP and cannot update a standard. It cannot relax that 
requirement, so the middlebox needs to be updated accordingly.

*Additionally*, it’s bad practice to indicate “SHOULD” unless the text also 
explains why it isn’t a MUST, i.e., under what conditions it is OK to not 
forward fragments.
