OASIS members, For your review, here is a link to "Keyword Guidelines for OASIS Specifications and Standards" written and edited by the members of the TAB. https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/51341/OASIS-Keywords-Directives-v6.0-1.pdf We welcome your comments and feedback before we publish the final edition of the paper. Feel free to subscribe and send your comments to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. This short guidelines document is intended to assist OASIS authors and editors in the proper use of normative keywords (RFC2119 or ISO). Members of the TAB have noticed when reviewing specifications that normative keywords are sometimes misused or used inconsistently. This can lead to misunderstanding of the meaning of a specification or to inconsistent implementation of its normative content. The "Keyword Guidelines" aims to assist editors in using keywords and to anticipate questions they might have.
