What I was talking about was examples where it was quite clear that an item was optional, but someone insisted that people were not in compliance if they did not implement it. One example of several possible: the standards state what form a MSGID should take, but do not insist that one be present. Hence for someont to state that a system is not in compliance because they do not have a MSGID is not a matter of not being a native speaker, but simply one of attempting to impose their own bias.
