FWIW, many declarations (taking the one shown by Joel as an example), 
permission is granted to "technically necessary to implement the IETF 
standard spesification.." and similar has been seen in other 
declarations (possibly in the form, '.. to interoperate with XXX 
standard specification').

Does that allow you to implement everything in the specification if 
'everything' is not 'technically necessary to implement' [for 
interoperability or otherwise]?  MAYs?  SHOULDs?
