By "strict interpretation", I mean "enforce all of these as MUST directives, instead of mere SHOULD directives/suggestions".

I disagree with this statement but would like to have you review the code I'm about to post. RFC's use MUST/SHOULD on purpose and you must not reinterpet the should's as must's just because you like it better ;-)


Actually, given what SHOULD means (that those who fail to obey them should fully consider the consequences of that action), and the text of the RFC that I quoted (which warns that failure to comply could result in service rejections), it's perfectly reasonable for a site to make those recommendations into requirements for service (which is all I was indicating).
