Sanjay, Check the minutes of the Policy TC from Oct 1, I'll paste it here:
Sanjay: Open CSA Steering Committee's recommendation regarding use of
RFC 2119
keywords (and versioning):
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-
policy/200710/msg00000.html
Sanjay: The Steering Committee (SC) recommends to each SCA Technical
Committee
to use the RFC 2119 keywords along with the following restrictions in
their
specifications:
a) All RFC 2119 keywords will be of the uppercase form (for example,
RFC 2119
keywords MUST be capitalized)
b) Use of lower-case 2119 keywords will not be used in the spec. When
the use of 2119
keyword is needed, without having the implications wrt conformance, a
suitable synonym
will be found.
c) RFC 2119 defines keywords that are synonyms of each other. For
example 'SHALL'
and 'MUST' mean the same thing. The TC should not use multiple forms to
mean the
same. Therefore the TC should use 'MUST' instead of 'SHALL' and 'MUST
NOT' instead
of 'SHALL NOT' through out the spec.
Sanjay: Moves to accept the resolution as proposed by the SC
Martin Chapman: seconds
Resolution 3: Use RFC 2119 keywords as recommended by the Open CSA SC,
accepted unanimously
So yes, we accepted RFC2119 + some stuff. I think the other TCs did
someting similar.
