I hope it also at least recommends that the grounding is at the sending end, so that the cable capacitance is charged from the low-impedance source.  I guess that, e.g. in the auto environment, the risk of large shield currents is too great to allow routine grounding at both ends. But I suppose that grounding via a capacitor at the receiving end is not banned. If possible, this capacitor should be of the lowest possible inductance, which is not difficult with SMD, and if several capacitors are disposed radially around the end of the shield and grounded at their outer ends on a metal ring, the grounding should be good up to at least 1 GHz.

Automotive EMC question The CAN bus spec says that shield(s) are to be grounded at one end only. How does this work vs. meeting stringent rf RE and RS requirements at frequencies where cables are electrically long?

Thank you,
