Wouldn't "may" be sufficient?

Yes, and 'may' is more more correct than 'should', since the "Rendering Engine
Requirements" section really is included just to provide a framework for the
language extensions.  The document specifies the input, and we have a general
understanding about what the output should be, but the stuff in the middle is
internal to the rendering engine, and it can operate anyway the programmer
wants.

Maybe "Rendering Engine Requirements" should be renamed to something less
forceful?
