The authors agree and will change the MUST to "must".
Because we had another comment regarding this paragraph from our Area
Director (Richard Barnes), we will add following text at the end of
that paragraph:
In particular, unless the containing message is a request and is
immediately rejected, the UA SHOULD provide some alert unless it is
explicitly instructed not to (for example, by Alert-Info URIs that
it understands, the presence of a Replaces or Joins header field,
local policy, or direction of the user).

The urn-nid review started 3 Oct 2013:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/urn-nid/current/msg01218.html
There were no comments.

We did not want a renumbering of the requirements in order to avoid
confusion when people sent comments on the requirements. It makes
sense to renumber the requirements now, and we will do so.

We believe it is valuable to allow just YY, but are willing remove it if
necessary to pass the gen-art review.
Overall, we have strived to allow brevity in the date formats.
Allowing CC to be optional changes the number of permitted date
formats from 4 (including complete absence) to 7, but it only
increases the number of distinct choices in code that processes dates
from 3 to 4. Given that CC can only be "20" for the next 86 years,
and the general desirability of brevity, we think that it is as
reasonable to make CC optional as it is to make MM and DD optional.
