[JRE] RFC 2119 states:
"4. SHOULD NOT   This phrase, or the phrase "NOT RECOMMENDED" mean that
   there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances when the
   particular behavior is acceptable or even useful, but the full
   implications should be understood and the case carefully weighed
   before implementing any behavior described with this label."

Therefore they mean the same thing.

[JRE] If you want to tone it down, you would indeed need to use
non-normative text. But it depends what the WG wants - I don't have an
opinion.
