Use of "may", "must", etc.
If we did that (that is treat the terms in lower-case differently from
their upper-case version), then our specs can not claim full compliance
with RFC 2119, since RFC 2119 does not differentiate the key words based
on their case. The problem with invoking RFC 2119 only for upper-case
keywords would be that - we might be upsetting a lot of readers out
there who have by now started expecting a full compliance with RFC 2119.
Bryan, could you give us one or two examples of the awkwardness you
faced while substituting the RFC terms? Perhaps we can just identify the
common situations of such awkwardness and try to come up with some
alternative terms that can be uniformly used by all the SCA specs.
