Re: [kmip] Groups - Conformance Keywords Proposal (Sun ConformanceLanguage Proposal.pdf) uploaded

[Matt Ball <Matthew.Ball@Sun.COM>]

Is there anyone who prefers 'MUST' over 'SHALL'?  If not, I'll go ahead
and change the conformance clause to require using 'SHALL' and forbid
using 'MUST' (and probably forbid 'can' and 'will' at the same time). 
This is more compatible with other groups, like ISO, IEEE, and INCITS...

Cheers,
-Matt
