I don't think Brian wrote exactly "MUST vs SHOULD should not affect the adoption call".  I think he wrote that s/MUST/SHOULD/ can be discussed by the WG after adoption, and those expressing an opinion on the adoption call should keep that fact in mind.

The chairs can then consider the objecting opinions and decide if those objections are addressed by Brian's observation, and that "rough consensus" can be declared in favor of adoption.

In my personal opinion the effect of s/MUST/SHOULD/ is important enough in its impact on existing standards like 6LoWPAN header compression that I object to publishing the document as a WG work item until the change is made.  The chairs will evaluate that objection as part of their determination of "rough consensus".
