Re: Section 4.2.3 Default to Turtle

I agree with James that a MUST is too strong here;
LDP servers should be allowed to behave differently.
Jame's googlebot example is a very relevant one, I think.

I'm not sure I'm in favour of removing the section completely,
but definitely make it less constraining.
