Hi!
I propose the following modification to Joseph's terminology:
2a. "Should" expresses a provision that is recommended, but is not
mandatory
2b. "May" expresses a provision that is allowed, but is not mandatory

Hi All:
I recommend the following wording for "shall", "will", should", etc. for
inclusion in 802.20 Requirements document:
The following terminology identifies the designation of mandatory versus
non-mandatory requirements:
1. "shall" expresses a provision that is binding
2. "should" and "may" expresses non-mandatory provisions
3. "will" expresses a declaration of purpose. It may be necessary
to use "will" in cases where the simple future tense is required
