[FEEDBACK] Conformance for currency and unit should be more strict #1009

@sffc

Description

@sffc

Following up to my #977 audit:

The value of the operand's currency MUST be either a string containing a well-formed Unicode Currency Identifier or an implementation-defined currency type. Although currency codes are expected to be uppercase, implementations SHOULD treat them in a case-insensitive manner.

Why is this SHOULD and not MUST? Pick a behavior but don't let this be implementation-defined.

The value of the operand's unit SHOULD be either a string containing a valid Unit Identifier or an implementation-defined unit type.

Huh? So the operand is a TR35 Unit ID or an implementation-defined unit type, but hey, it's not necessarily either one due to the SHOULD?

I suggest:

  1. The string MUST be a TR35 unit identifier
  2. An implementation MAY allow other syntaxes (although I prefer to just be strict and require TR35 unit IDs)
