Section 4.3 says:

   This failure should be logged, and if the client abandons association
   due to the (repeated) receipt of invalid elements, notification of
   this fact should be provided to the user.

It should say:

   This failure SHOULD be logged, and if the client abandons association
   due to the (repeated) receipt of invalid elements, notification of
   this fact SHOULD be provided to the user.

Notes:

Uncapitalized "should" used instead of RFC 2119 "SHOULD".
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Use of RFC 2119 keywords is optional. The text is sufficiently clear with the lower-case “should”.
