Is it *our language* or our specification language? I agree that we use in IETF documents the English language but don't think it is equal/close to all WORLD's language(s), so using RFC2119 will help programmers to read who may like the spoken language, but like most the specification coding language(s). However, the specification/protocol language reader needs to be clear and in an easy language. I think in the IETF the coding languages is OUR language not only English. AB
