There is also those previous art called "language". I do not think it makes sense at all to switch from the wheel to some cogwheel when still wanting to run on roads. > RFC 2119 solves the problem of indicating > that these words have specific meanings by putting them in all caps when > they're used with specific definitions. That's a totally different way to express things. There are not only some little wording difference. Having to have some all-upercase "MUST" in every second sentence is not only ugly but would not improve policy at all. Bernhard R.
