Greetings again. A few Internet Drafts are starting to adopt the
MUST- / SHOULD+ / SHOULD- terminology from RFC 4307. So that people
can point to stand-alone definitions, I created a small draft. From
the announcement:
These new requirement levels might serve as a crystal ball as to the
direction the specifications are expected to follow. That might be
perceived by some as a valid reason whether to implement a
recommendation or not.
In the context of RFC 4307, these terms make sense. If the terms
were generalized, they might be used to impose a particular
recommendation without any elaboration from the author.
