30 I think most would better understand the use of *must* rather than *may*
31 would have a clearer meaning if the interpretation was intended as
32 Kristian suggests. In lieu of additional consultation on the subject, I
33 suggest the project uses the wording as is, and as others have confirmed
34 the interpretation of 'may' is preserved as indicating an option rather
35 than enforcing a mandate.
