Those sentences are here without the context given in RFC 4478. But that RFC is entirely about AUTH_LIFETIME, so if you're not sending it, you're just not implementing the RFC. Those sentences are about the timing of sending the message. Upon receipt of the message, the client software prompts

Sounds like an never ending loop. 2119 is an RFC too and thus written in "RFCish" as well. To me, it only matters in terms of implementation - should we waste time and money on implementing a SHOULD/RECOMMENDED feature? Is it required to be coded? Can it be delayed, for version 2.0? Is it r

I DO NOT agree that 2119 is the only source of consequence here. Perhaps if I showed Dave Cridland an article on netiquete he could try to be less patronizing. Unlike some here I do not regard the RFC series as having divine inspiration. Many other standards organizations use normative language.
