SHOULD appears 12 times and should appears 67 times.
Some of the lower case uses of "should" appear to be in non-normative text that should be notes. But in other cases, it appears to be the equivalent of "SHOULD."
From 3.1 Device Initialization:
*****
the driver SHOULD set the FAILED status bit to indicate that it has given up on the device (it can reset the device later to restart if desired).
*****
From 3.2.2 Receiving Used Buffers from the Device
*****
For each ring, the driver should then disable interrupts by writing VRING_AVAIL_F_NO_INTERRUPT flag in avail structure, if required.
*****
The "shoulds" in those two cases have very different meaning for conforming to VIRTIO.
The first is RFC2119 "SHOULD" and the second is just ordinary should, really non-normative.
