Erratum: MAY NOT->MUST NOT
There are two instances of the phrase "MAY NOT" in the core spec (lines
1050 and 1258). This phrase is not actually defined by RFC 2199; I
believe what was meant was "MUST NOT". For this reason, and because
"may not" is a classic ambiguous phrase in technical documentation
("don't do this", as opposed to "you may or may not do this"), I
recommend that we change it to "MUST NOT" in both locations.
I did not find any other occurrences of this uppercase phrase in the
other documents.
