They include, at least, ISP, content network, data center, enterprise, residential, IoT, and mobile wireless networks. Those markets have differing non-exclusive sets of requirements.
Is there a way to focus on the core requirements that all routers need

in general MAY also do...

And then leave it to other documents to focus on the additional
requirements (or relaxations of SHOULDs) that apply to these environments?
