I believe all of the TCs have adopted use of RFC 2119 keywords in uppercase only and to not use the keywords in lower-case form at all, using synonyms when necessary. We have started scrubbing the C++ spec to eliminate use of "may", "must", etc. and found that some rather awkward language can result Has anyone else started this exercise and how are your results?
