Hi,
Just remember that "MAY" is difficult to handle by developers: Can I depend on it or not ? What if the
"MAY" feature does not exist ? What if I develop on an implementation providing the "MAY" feature
and then running on an implementation not providing the "MAY" feature ?
In essence, a "MAY" feature basically must be considered as non-existing :-(
All in all, please don't use "MAY". Thanks from a developer ;-)
I remember such a pain when dealing with browser compliance to HTTP spec some
years ago, SHOULD / MAY [NOT] were my enemies :-)

...in which case you should read the new spec(s) and provide feedback
before they get finalized :-) (->
