Hi Bill and Smith,

I'll write a revised Last Call response from High North.

I object very strongly to the complete removal of the section 2.1
Conformance
Terminology, instead of the dropping of MUST and REQUIRED.

The former section 5 Conformance Requirements should be named
Implementation Recommendations.

Within section 5, the word MUST should be changed to all-caps SHOULD.

All of which would be consistent with many Best Practices specs from IETF,
ITU-T, and ISO.

Losing the all-caps SHOULDs is a critical fault in the current text.

Cheers,
- Ira
