Speaking as an AD now, you should expect me to complain about the "SHOULD"
in Section 4.7.  Specifically, since "SHOULD" ultimately permits a choice,
we ought to [1] give implementers some guidance about when one might opt
not to do what that "SHOULD" says, or in the alternative, make it a "MAY"
or "MUST" (probably the latter?).

This might also be true of other MUSTard in the document, but since I was
just reviewing that section, it jumped out at me.
