"SHALL" means exactly the same thing as "MUST", per RFC 2119. It's "SHOULD" and "MAY" that you should be worried about. ;-)

Subject: [Openid-specs-fapi] "SHALL" vs. "MUST"
Hi all!
I just had a chat with a colleague and he said:
- you know Sascha, I hate to read 'shall' in specifications. I then never know if a product supports it
So my question is: what is the reason for using "shall" instead of "must"?
Thanks,
Sascha
