B - it is bad form to use "should" or "must" in a subjunctive clause
C - "to be desired" is not synonymous with "desirable." Something "to be desired" is lacking, while something "desirable" is something we would like or hope to see.
D - changes the meaning from desirability to destiny
E - "should have to" describes a de jure situation I want to see, not, as "it is desirable" describes, a de facto situation I want to see.
