Yes. Sorry for the obvious typo.

I claim that it doesn't really matter. SHOULD is a SHOULD (not MUST) and
implementers who have trouble implementing a SHOULD for some reason is
free to not to as long as they carefully consider the effects of doing
so. SHOULD level requirements is there to clarify what common sense is
and making sure all implementers have about the same idea of what makes
sense.

The requirement as such makes sense to be a SHOULD as it does not make a
lot sense from a protocol perspective to send requests using methods not
included in the set advertised as supported (if a such set is
advertised).

With the proposed change in language I do not care either way. The
client requrement may stay or go as far as I am concerned.
