If someone says 'it should do X', that is not a feature request.  That's 
telling me that I should make it do X.  Someone saying 'Could you please make 
it do X', however, is a feature request.  See, there's the whole "request" 
part of it that's missing from the first statement, and I consider that to be 
fairly integral to the whole "feature request" concept.
