"SHOULD believe" is a new one to me.

How about describing the Server requirements and leaving it at that?  
Those rebel clients that just try methods, well, we could add a:  
"server SHOULD be able to handle methods not listed in their Allow  
header responses". But that is underestimating the reader, or?
