How many RFCs still in use today don't start with:
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119
I posted a response on the article itself, rather than pollute a
mailing list with replies to a troll. The name calling was a rather
large hint as to the intention of the "opinion", either that or whoever
translated the article (man or machine) was really angry at the time.
