Re: Editorial comment - MUST, SHOULD, etc

Hi Rob,

It sounds like the respec stylesheets need to be corrected.

If the WebSub spec is choosing to use respec, then I think the Social 
Web group bears some responsibility for ensuring that the respec 
stylesheets are corrected so that they do not misleadingly display 
"MUST" as "must".

Or is this display of "MUST" as "must" a new W3C policy?   If so, where 
should I lodge my request to get it changed?

thanks,
David Booth
