Re: [emergency] STRONGLY RECOMMENDED reprise

I think that the semantics of SHOULD and RECOMMENDED, per RFC 2119 are enough. Adding "STRONGLY" doesn't add much for me, though I can understand that "SHOULD" doesn't go far enough, but do we want to blur the lines of SHOULD/MUST? cheers, Darrell

EM TC members,

Before using "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED" in place of SHOULD" in the wording of proposed Notes to the CAP 1.3/2.0 spec, I notice that RFC 2119 equates "RECOMMENDED" with "SHOULD", but not "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED":
SHOULD   This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean 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.
Comments?
