    I have to disagree. A positive statement may feel better, but the
    MUST NOT preclude sends the correct message--that we are
    accommodating legacy systems, not giving them the nod. Also, when one
    says enable this or that, the most common association made is that
    this is the approved, or, heaven forbid, the only
    application/service/bucket of stuff that the spec supports. What
    springs to mind is the situation where a host of potential supporters
    say, "Hey what about all that new REST, XMLP, Semantic Web stuff
    coming along? You mean we can't use that?" MUST NOT preclude"
    actually enables everything without giving the impression of any
    favored system, and it also serves notice that change is coming.
