Well I would say so much has changed since that paragraph was written where we 
have xTR-IDs  used for the association and registration between an ETR and a 
map-server and with newer ways of authentication (like using different keys per 
ETR with same anycast address as well as signature-IDs) we should lighten from 
SHOULD NOT to MAY. 

I’m willing to change it if there are no objections.
