What I'm driving at is that you're making claims that things are broken |
14 |
or recommended when in fact they are not. Try reading some RFC's and |
15 |
then you'll have a clearer (hopefully!!) understanding of the words MUST |
16 |
and SHOULD. Also you'll understand that if those words are not present |
17 |
then it's entirely optional. I fully recommend reading RFC 2131 [1] as |
18 |

19 |
examples of these words :) |
