Looking through the paragraphs in Section 5...

Paragraph 1: The use of "must" and "may" are intentional.  These are needed for security, but they do not impact interoperability.

Paragraph 2: The use of "may" is intentional.  It is a statement about what an attacker may do; it has no impact on interoperability.

Paragraph 4: It uses "SHOULD NOT"

Paragraph 5: In my edit buffer, I have changed "should" to "SHOULD".
