Section 7.5 says:

Implementations SHOULD use the mechanisms defined in Section 5.4 to
mitigate this attack.

It should say:

Implementations MUST use the padding mechanisms defined in Section 5.4
to mitigate this attack.

Notes:

Section 5.4 states that "[i]mplementations MUST protect against the traffic analysis attacks described in Section 7.5", but Section 7.5 describes that obligation as a "SHOULD". "MUST" is correct, and the inconsistent "SHOULD" in Section 7.5 is an error.
