You apparently consider SHOULD as almost a MUST.

I support SHOULD in this case; it's meant for manually configured 
nodes, really.  I certainly want to be able to manually configure my 
systems _if I want to_.

You've convincing reasons why you don't want to implement that -- always 
use autoconfiguration.  (I suspect you're dealing with small devices 
which cannot really be "configured" anyway).  It's okay.
