Might MAKES RIGHT!

Some sundry corrections.
 
I realised that most of the cases of confusion could be eliminated by
changing MAY to might.
 
So might does make right after all!

[64] The following ResultMajor codes are defined:

The "must" in the table should probably be MUST.

[91] For example a Locate Service MAY act as an aggregator of public key
related information obtained from a variety of sources without performing
any checks to determine whether specific information is current or
establishing any formal trust policy. Such a service would correspond to the
role of a directory in a traditional PKI. A Validate service MAY provide a
service that validates key information presented to it but does not provide
aggregation services.

I think I would lowercase these MAYs.

[202] X-KRSS specifies a mechanism for authenticating requests that is
independent of any authentication mechanism provided by the message security
binding. By its nature the X-KRSS protocol must support requests from
parties who have yet to register their credentials or who have impaired
credentials which are to be revoked.

I think this "must" should be MUST.

Reworded as I don't think the MUST is actually a protocol MUST it is a
design MUST

[280] Depending on the implementation and application a key recovery
operation MAY involve an unacceptable loss of confidence in the security of
a private key component. This may lead to the possibility of repudiation of
a signed document or of accountability in the case of an encrypted document.

The first may should be lower case.
