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).
