Small (nit-picking) detail: I don't know if we are getting this into "standards-speak" yet, but all of the "musts" need to changed to "shalls."


For requirements?

Yes, I believe so. "Shall" is a state that is testable, whereas "must" is an obligation, which in a document like this is unclear because the obligee is unclear.
