Yes, at the minimum. The MUST for implement would only mean that
additional HTTP headers must be supported by Web server software. I
think all popular implementations do that?

The MUST for deploy would mean adding the header to the configuration. I
am slightly in favour of that, but site operators might be afraid of
what happens in case something goes wrong in their SSL config and no-one
can access the site. Then again, it would be a real incentive to deploy
SSL correctly from the start and take care the site actually works.
