I would offer this highlights the problem with today's SHOULD. Some
think SHOULD means something is OK to implement, but life does not end
if you do not do it. Others think SHOULD means something HAS to be
implemented, unless the environment indicates the protocol will not
work in some corner case.
On the other hand, given the current SHOULD definition in RFC2119, I'm at a
loss to understand how one could reasonably come to other than the second
interpretation you give here. It's fairly explicit to me.
