Hi CL, in my professional capacity as a Business Analyst, I can guarantee you that 'should' and 'will' mean 2 very different things, as Raphiel stated. One of the first lessons in writing good Business Requirements is that your statements are 'complete' (they say everything you want to say), discrete (they handle one item at a time), unambiguous (they say exactly what must be said) and imperative (are direct, testable instructions).
'Should' meets none of those. If it's BR101, I'd expect the divinely inspired representatives of God to know it. Why should such a revision be needed?
