Oh, I don't misunderstand that point. But reading RFC2462, and seeing
things like "is to be" and seeing how the word "should" was used in
context, I got the feeling that it was not being treated with the
respect it deserved - i.e., that sometimes it was not being used
prescriptively. In any case, that's all gone from RFC4862, which
obsoletes RFC2462. Leaving me still wondering.
