Unless of course one considers us the Protocol Nanny's(tm) - if do not do a SHOULD, we will send you to bed without your treacle! I.e., there IS NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN A BARE SHOULD AND A MAY.
Of course there is. Its the distinction between - Qualified SHOULD) Here lie dragons. Take the recommended route, unless you know how to fight them. Unqualified SHOULD) Here lie some dangers. Check with someone who knows, or take the recommended route. MAY) Here's an area. You could go there. Of course, the first and last pieces of text are preferred. But sometimes no one was brave enough to explore the area, so we don't actually know what dangers there are, they cannot be listed.
