really looks bogus.
If the MAY is really intended, please change the rest of the
sentence so that it actually makes sense (here by removing "...zero
or more...").
That seems fine.
I have the feeling that the spec needs to be checked for similar patterns :-)
It does. They may be "bogus", but they are also harmless as long as
they are accurate. Unfortunately, lots of IETF standards have lots of
unneeded capitalized and official-sounding MAYs.
