My concerns are more practical.  MUST forces a modeler to do something
that might not be required, and the real difference (in terms of
behaviors) in MUST and MAY is near zero.  The client will refetch
either way (if it cares).  The server will be driven by the behavior
required in the "description", not the "s-c" statement.
