MUST is the directive to implementers of this specification, and is

I did look for that, didn't recall seeing it (or any other error
handling, etc.., for that matter).

Future specifications can set it to a different value and 'not ignore' it.

SHOULD would allow implementers to change the value under the current
spec, which would render the field useless to future specs.

Yeah, you're right, I should have know that..

Thanks for the clue!
