Ángel proposed something, Werner agreed, but then Ángel wasn't sure

Hello Paul
There are two points here.
I proposed a change. Its summary could be "Make explicit that the
checksum is optional".
Werner agreed. But he also mentioned "making the CRC a SHOULD create".
He might have read that into my text (it wasn't my intention on that
patch), or it could have been meant as "we should also make it a
SHOULD".
Making the checksum a SHOULD is the piece I discuss in my second mail,
and the one I'm unsure about.
I still support my initial change (well, if it doesn't turn out to be
unclear).
So there are two issues:
a) if the proposed text is good
b) whether adding a line "clients SHOULD create a checksum"
Best regards
