If 2119 were to be updated, that's how it should work. If we're going to retroactively clarify the meanings of the keywords, that should probably be done on a per-document basis. (here's what we really meant when we said SHOULD in RFC XXXX...) I think it's very premature to assume that 2119 will be updated. Keith
