I don't know offhand what RFC 2119 says on the matter, and I haven't got time to look, but any set of rules that includes the term "may not" is liable to be misinterpreted by half its audience. When I am reviewing specifications, "may not" always gets a thumbs down. I don't much like "may" either. Everything is permitted unless the specification prohibits it, a sentence whose main verb is "may" therefore says nothing. Mike Kay xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
