You're in good company in that co-author Puneet has voiced the same opinion. My own take is that it's appropriate because if someone were to go ahead and directly implement from the example method, then the BCP 14 normative language is appropriate because they are requirements of the example method. But that's only my viewpoint without knowing of any further existing editorial guidance on the matter, and your point is also sensible in favor of downcasing them as not being BCP 14 "requirements in the specification" in a broader sense. I'm inclined to leave it to the RFC Editor to adjudicate as to what's best. Ultimately I'm not passionate about it either way. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
