Hi Guys 

So then in the section for terms there will be an explanation of when
a Must demands something, or offers one of two solutions, or? 

So it will need to be defined as to not be confusing as to when a "MUST" 
carries no other choices?

"Must Support" implies options
"Must specify" 
"Must require" , ETC.

Sincerely,

Nancy
