Apart from the feedback above I don't see my point addressed or a valid argument why it should not be of concern.

I take a point of Andy about having something to enforce and it could have been achieved without structural change to section 6. The changes in -07 address the need in a misleading and confusing way.

[SAH] I don’t think that’s the case at all. I’ve already agreed that the “EPP Servers MUST” sentence needs to be changed to “EPP clients and servers MUST”. The restructuring of Section 6 that was done in -07 preserves the identification of practices that have been observed in use and those that haven’t by directly referencing the descriptions found in Section 5. -07 straightforwardly identifies what are believed to be the three best practices in a way that directly aligns with RFC 2026. If it helps, we could make the “belief” part clearer by changing the first sentence in Section 6 from this:

“The practices in this section address operational risks with minimal undesired side effects.”

to this:

“The practices described in this section are believed to address operational risks with minimal undesired side effects.”
