Re: [Doh] Support requirements for Get and Post

imo normative SHOULD is a tad too strong.

One thing to note is that the 405 ought to include an allow response header
indicating what methods it can process.. so your fallback ought to be in
that set, at a minimum.

But its also possible that the other method might not meet your
requirements.. e.g. a GET is 405'd and you require an HTTP cache to meet
performance requirements - you might not use doh, or use a different
server, or whatever instead of SHOULD retry.

may is really ok imo.
