    If you simply ignore a SHOULD and don't do what it says by default 
without an evaluation of the consequences, you are ignoring the RFC. The 
definition of "compliance" prohibits ignoring SHOULDs, though it does not 
require you to do what the SHOULD says. Not complying with a SHOULD because 
it requires effort or the API requires an extra bind to do it or the like is 
not compliant.
