--- Comment #1 from Wayne Sierke <ws at au.dyndns.ws> ---
The POSIX man page for comm uses "should" and additionally states:

   If the lines in both files are not ordered according to the collating
sequence of the current locale, the results are unspecified.


The FreeBSD man page states:

   The comm utility assumes that the files are lexically sorted; all characters
participate in line comparisons.


I think it is generally well-understood that in this context "should" indicates
a requirement of conformance. The additional statement reinforces that
requirement. There is no need to replace "should".
