I don't see a MUST in there.  The language is not explicit without it.
Is it a case of they SHOULD always, they MAY always, or they MUST
always?  Without specification it's unclear.

Although I am inclined to think the current behavior is a bug, I'm also
inclined to think this is making a mountain out of a molehill.
