Research direction

Review the API specification files in the repository to identify instances of IETF language (shall, must, etc.) that need to be replaced with ISO-compliant terminology. Check the linked ISO directives for guidance on appropriate wording. After making changes, verify that the specification remains consistent and clear.

Description

If we want to get to ISO standard (which I believe) we need to use ISO language instead of IETF.
