Mmz, so what's the difference between testing "shalls" and the "should not" ? I assume
one needs some semantics to test it anyway :-) 

Or is it merely a suggestion for the Consumer ? Then the values should probably be 
"recommended / discouraged" instead of "enabled / disabled"

True. So perhaps add a note at the beginning of the document that says something
like "enabled simply means that feature X is enabled" and only provide additional info
when the is something to explain.

Best regards
