Actually, given what SHOULD means (that those who fail to obey them 
should fully consider the consequences of that action), and the text of 
the RFC that I quoted (which warns that failure to comply could result 
in service rejections), it's perfectly reasonable for a site to make 
those recommendations into requirements for service (which is all I was 
indicating).
