5. AOB
Larry Rogers: Is it good practice to narrow scope and use MUST/SHALL or is it better to leave things more open?
Chris: MUST/SHALL is sometimes preferable for interopability but limits entensibility and future options.
Hal: Agree – there is no universal answer. If there is a specific instance of a normative wording issue that specific instance should be brought to the TC for consideration.
Larry: Good, that’s the answer I was hoping for.
Don Schmidt: The case of an STS returning sign-out completion messages is a case in point--it is not always possible and a MUST would be too restrictive.
