Hi Eric, folks,
[renamed for this specific point, and CC list trimmed]
I am puzzled by this point in your review.
I suspect that other potential authors will be too.
To me, the last sentence is exactly right:
the SHOULD means "do this unless...",
and the last phrase covers the "unless".
I had read 2119 to mean that a MUST was unconditional
- do this or be non-complaint.
Do you believe that MUST can have an "unless" clause?
Doesn't this mean that any SHOULD with an explicit "unless" will
need to be changed into a MUST - could you expand on this, please?
all the best,
Lawrence

The LIS MUST implement the server

except in the event of an emergency.
Does that address your concerns?
Why did this become a SHOULD when it was a MUST?
