Hi Hector, I like your method, which beleive is the reason why the RFC2119 is great help for implementors. As I mentioned before if the protocol specification is long and complicated no doubt its language may make it more difficult to readers or writters. Therefore, it will be nice if the IETF

IMO, too many specs seriously overuse/misuse 2119 language, to the detriment of readability, common sense, and reserving the terms to bring attention to those cases where it really is important to highlight an important point that may not be obvious to a casual reader/implementor. also to

Keep in mind only a STD is a real standard. A RFC is still only a recommendation, a guideline. What makes it a pseudo-standard is the # of implementations, how wide spread it is and foremost IMO, how much embedded it is so that a change has a negative impact. At that point, an RFC not
