RE: [sv-bc] e-mail ballot due Monday, Feb 18, 8AM PST

Hi,

On "should", 1.5 says,

"The word should is used to indicate that among several possibilities
one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or
excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but
not necessarily required; or that (in the negative form) a certain
course of action is deprecated but not prohibited (should equals is
recommended that)."

This is quoted from the IEEE Standards Style Manual.

Shalom
