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. -- Sanjay >
