RFC 3028 used SHOULD. Considering even split (and good technical
arguments on both sides) I don't see any reason to change it to anything
else.
yes, it says that in general:
Implementations SHOULD prohibit reject when used with other actions.
but it also calls the explicit combination we're talking about
"invalid":
Implementations might even go so far as to ensure that scripts can
never execute an invalid set of actions (e.g., reject + fileinto)
before execution, although this could involve solving the Halting
Problem.
I don't think changing it to a MUST is changing the spec, it's just
clarifying it.
