I was a doctrine and policy wonk on the Joint Chiefs of Staff and we had the very same issue involving "will" and "shall." Many of my peers said it was "fairies dancing on the head of a pin" issue. I never used the word "will" in anything I ever wrote. It was always "shall" because of the no interpretation rule and it was a directive word not a consideration word.
