Hi Zahed, I’m sure Les will reply as soon as his TZ allows him adequate caffeination :-). To jump-start things, though, a couple questions/comments below.

IMO that would be fine, and would not make the document any less fit for purpose. Once we have accepted that these are guidelines and not a statement of an algorithm, it’s very difficult to insist that RFC 2119 keywords have much power, doubly so when all of them are SHOULD and not MUST. One possible counterargument is that SHOULD makes the document more useful to the future implementor than “should”. I would (and did!) also accept that position. In short, I don’t much care if the SHOULD is changed, or kept, and I hope the parties to this discussion don’t either. > - I am expecting this document to call out the algorithm 1 as the only one it > is defining/describing and 6.3.2 are guidelines for other approaches when > Algorithm 1 is not feasible. This should be reflected in the document. I didn’t think "when Algorithm 1 is not feasible” was implicit in the document, it was just “here are two approaches” with no editorializing about a preference between the two. (I haven’t read it recently so I *could* be wrong, but that’s how I recall it.) Assuming my recollection is right, I think it would be unwise to change the document to state a preference.
