My preference is that a BCP have something to enforce, therefore I like your suggested change but do think Scott's change to the server language is needed.

    [SAH] This was done to address feedback we received from Orie
    after he read -06. It's based this text found in Section 5 of RC 2026:

    "A BCP document is subject to the same basic set of procedures as
    standards track documents and thus is a vehicle by which the IETF
    community can define and ratify the community's best current
    thinking on a statement of principle or on what is believed to be
    the best way to perform some operations or IETF process function."

    Note that it says "what is believed to be". There is no
    requirement for "best current practices" to be something that's
    being done at the moment the document is written.

    [SAH] That's my mistake, and it's an easy fix. Change "AN EPP
    server MUST" to "EPP clients and servers MUST", or "must", or
    "can", if people have issues with a normative MUST.

    As I said above, Orie requested changes to the text he saw in
    Section 6 of -06. We think we addressed his feedback with the
    change noted above, but only he can say for sure. I don't want to
    revert to -05 or -06 only for him to give us the same "please
    change this" feedback during his formal AD review.
