Then we have a "double standard" here. For some cases we (as in "the project") 
consider "should" as Stuart and I described it before, but we do *also* 
consider it a "may" for some cases, as Ian has just pointed it out.

So we either need a new word between "should" and "may" or sincere us and use 
"may" for manpages too. I would prefer the latest, but I understand if someone 
disagrees.
