I don't understand this: "SHOULD" means that "there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course." The text in this document isn't saying that these make sense in the places they specify: the document *does* mean "SHOULD" here. Certainly, "there are no relevant items to include" is a valid reason. What's the point of your objection? Barry _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
