I'm sorry, but with careful reading, it seems to me that Keith's
statement is an accurate paraphrase. Could you expand on what
you see as the difference?
I agree with both.
My input is the difference is the level of importance, i.e., "Security vs
Non Security" related feature.
If a "SHOULD" is used in Security related items, well, one can view that is
an highly encouraged item to implement.
For a non-security item, a SHOULD has less importance.
It can also have a "urgency" when or probably more "migration" factor as
well.
Overall I think the current concise language is necessary, but at times, the
specs have the missing the "importance and when" concepts one seeks to know
sometimes.
