non-normative.
</p><p>
IHE adopts the normative words defined in IETF <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp14">Best Current Practice 14: Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels (BCP-14)</a> (currently RFC <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc2119">2119</a> and RFC <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8174">8174</a>), certain words indicate whether a specific content of the Technical
Framework is normative: either required (e.g., “must”, “required”, “shall”) or optional (e.g.,
“may”, “recommended”). Informative content does not contain these key words.
Framework is normative.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc2119">RFC 2119</a>.
Informative content does not contain these key words.

<h2 id="E.2">E.2 Profiling DICOM</h2>
<p>The required behaviors for DICOM Type 2 attributes are sometimes misunderstood by implementers. IHE emphasizes that DICOM Type 2 attributes (for instance, Patient Name, Patient ID) shall be transmitted with zero length if the source system does not possess valid values for such attributes; in other words, the source system shall not assign default values to such attributes. The receiving system must be able to handle zero-length values for such attributes.</p>
