Hi Martin,

OK, I can use RFC style language instead of my "must" and "should" 
definitions if that helps us communicate better. I'm not up to full RFC 
format but I can try to get as close as needed.

I don't see "must/should/nice to have" defined in this link:
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2223.txt

Did I miss it or do you have a link the definitions you want to use handy?

Thanks,

Greg S
