[ISSUE] Use of RFC 2119 keywords only for the Conformance Clause

As Lynne has noticed it, we don't use RFC 2119 keywords in our 
conformance clause, but in the Conformance clause.

Would it be acceptable to include those in the Conformance section?

Proposed Text:
"""
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY ", and "OPTIONAL" are used 
as defined in RFC 2119 [RFC2119] in this conformance clause. 
Occurrences of these words in lowercase has normative implications.
