Recommendations should indicate whether it is bad practice, or just not yet supported

Added by David Groep over 7 years ago

Recommendations, especially those marked "SHOULD NOT" and "MUST NOT" should indicate, e.g. in a footnote, whether it is bad practice than must never be supported, or that the recommendation is based on current limitations in software, but that the behaviour is desirable and all software should aim to support these features in the (near) future.
For example, the nsCertType extension is of the first category, whereas the limitations on UTF-8 support are of the latter one (UTF-8 ought to be supported in software, and its now just bugs that are limiting interoperability).
