Subject: Erratum: MAY NOT->MUST NOT
There are two instances of the phrase "MAY NOT" in the core spec (lines 1050 and 1258). This phrase is not actually defined by RFC 2199; I believe what was meant was "MUST NOT". For this reason, and because "may not" is a classic ambiguous phrase in technical documentation ("don't do this", as opposed to "you may or may not do this"), I recommend that we change it to "MUST NOT" in both locations. I did not find any other occurrences of this uppercase phrase in the other documents.
