      It is more an recommendation. Therefore changed wording to SHOULD.

      In 5.3, we see use of SHALL keyword, while all other mandatory reqs use MUST. It is better to settle for just one and here MUST, as the preferred keyword for RFC2119 . REQUIRED is still necessary in some cases because serving different grammatical context, but thats not the case of

      {MUST, SHALL}

      that are really redundant.
