From Chris Payne

Terms are the same as those used in the functional standard but the descriptions of the terms differs slightly - not sure if it's of material concern but perhaps we could align the descriptions more precisely by using the same wording. This is what the AF Std says Term Intention shall denotes a requirement: a mandatory element. should denotes a recommendation: an advisory element. may denotes approval. might denotes a possibility. can denotes both capability and possibility. is/are denotes a description

We can, but I think our current descriptions are more helpful, e.g. comply and explain

Hurstharrier commented 3 months ago

How about using both?

Sure - done
