I had difficulties to find what you were talking about. You are talking about the techniques verbiage for this point: [[[ Using RFC 2119 [RFC2119] Keywords (MUST, SHOULD, MAY, ...) makes it easy to spot conformance requirements, due to their specific uppercase formatting; according to the RFC itself, they should be used only to establish interoperation [WIKI-RFC-KEYWORDS]; ]]] The sentence says "due to their specific uppercase formatting" which indeed can be misleading because it's not required by the RFC 2119 spec itself http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
