Well, you could still phrase it something along the lines of "The
size of a
popup document's viewport SHOULD be calculated using the CSS shrink wrap
algorithm... etc etc".
as an embedder of a browser for a small device, i do *not* want such a
requirement
Hence why it would be a SHOULD and not a MUST.
RFC 2119: "This word [...] mean[s] that there may exist valid reasons
in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item [...]"
If the spec author knows the "valid reasons", though, I would argue that
it's better for interop to just spell out the situations where the
requirement doesn't apply, rather than assume that implementors will
ignore a particular requirement.
