There is also the ISO directive for how to express normative language. Specifically: ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2: Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards. Not quite the same as the IETF RFC definitions. However, the ISO definitions are used in all ISO standards, OGC standards and I believe ITU standards.
