I kind of like the css trick OWL used.  In the HTML, it says....

        <em title="MUST in RFC 2119 context" class="RFC2119">MUST</em>
        
but the CSS says:

        .RFC2119 { font-style: italic; text-transform: lowercase; }
        
so when it's rendered without italics (as in RFCs) it's MUST but if you
have italics, it uses them instead.

Total hack, of course.  :-)     smallcaps is probably how I would do it.
