I'm very much not fond of the SHOULD... but MAY construction, because
I think the MAY contradicts the SHOULD.

I think the right way to say this is more along the line of "SHOULD
use text/jsmodule.  If that is not practical because backward
compatibility with clients that do not support text/jsmodule is
necessary, then the alternative MUST be text/javascript."
