No More Beer

Kev and MattJ argued that Beer constituted an encumbrance.

This changes the language around there to simply use normative language to assert server developers can't be silly.

<p>The precise matching of the supplied text string is left implementation-defined. Servers MAY use any full-text search engine. While this might mean that certain characters are deemed "special", clients are RECOMMENDED not to attempt any support for these, as they are unlikely to be portable between implementations. A conformant implementation of this protocol could be made, therefore, by accepting any string in the text field and returning nothing (or everything). Any server developer implementing this protocol in such a way MUST buy beers for everyone.</p>

While this might mean that certain characters are deemed "special", clients are RECOMMENDED not to attempt any support for these, as they are unlikely to be portable between implementations. While many implementations of this protocol might conform in a purely syntactic sense, it is to be noted that the intent is that a reasonable full-text search is performed based on the input - servers SHOULD therefore honour this intent despite the lack of a formal strict definition.</p>
