this case is probably more related to the discussion around RFC 2804.

There is of course the danger of misinterpretation, even though
the draft at hand is not necessarily the best example: policy
might be encouraged by the presence of a technical standard.
Just don't run a laundry.

   A locality MAY require the client to have data verified in accordance
   with local regulations or laws utilizing data sources not available
   to the server.

                                         The data verified by the VSP
   MUST be stored by the VSP along with the generated verification code
   to address any compliance issues.  The signer certificate and the
   digital signature of the verification code MUST be verified by the
   server.

The MAY in the first quote might be accidental, but the first MUST in
the second definitely is policy rather than protocol.
