I question his contention that "should" is nicer than "must" anyway. To me, "should" has judgmental overtones when used as part of an instruction.

However, the developer in question has said before that he thinks it's nicer
to say "should" than "must". Is there a nice way to say that I think it's
better to be clear than nice?
