When it comes to requirements language in standards track documents, and
particularly with respect to SHOULD, be prepared to answer this question:
Under what circumstances might an implementer deviate from the
recommendation presented by the SHOULD?  If the text doesn't make that
clear already, you can expect I'll ask that question when it comes up for
AD Evaluation.

If there's no solid answer to that, then you might consider MAY or MUST, or
omit the requirements language entirely.

In this case, why might an operator consciously omit "p=", and to what
end?  If there's no good answer to that, I'd consider making "p=" mandatory.
