The reason I didn't like 'Mustn't' is that it sounds too much like spoken
language, i.e. slang.
As for the semantic difference of 'may not', 'cannot' and 'must not', you
need to ask someone with a more co

As Mike point out since the USA are very decentralized, there is a lot
more inertia with these things. I'm slowly getting better at converting
