[Web MIDI API] SHOULD/MUST user permissioning mismatch

The spec says:  

"This call *SHOULD* prompt the user for access to MIDI devices. If the user gives express permission or the call is otherwise approved, successCallback is invoked, with a MIDIAccess object as its argument."

But then it says:  
[[
"When the requestMIDIAccess method is called, the user agent *MUST* run the following steps:"
...
7. Prompt the user in a user-agent-specific manner for permission to provide the entry script's origin with a MIDIAccess object representing control over user's MIDI devices.
]]

I think the first assertion should be dropped (i.e., delete "This call SHOULD…"). And in 7. the word "optionally, " should be prefixed to the step.
