There are subtle differences in which TFS are used. Some apply to protocol 
elements where the explicit values are defined in standards, where the text has 
all words capitalised, e.g., “Requested”, “Not Requested “. Some apply to 
protocol elements where there’s no such explicit definition, e.g., “Should be 
traced”, “Should not be traced”. (Or maybe it is, I don't know.).
In all, it’s impossible to set a hard rule either way, so we leave it up to the 
authors to define the true_false_strings, and optionally provide them for 
general use.
