Title : Non-Normative Synonyms in RFCs

Abstract:
Specifications in RFCs contain normative keywords, as defined in RFC
2119, to signify requirements, permission or prohibitions. These
include MUST, SHOULD and MAY, which are commonly recorded in all
CAPITALS (but need not be). The RFC 2119 words are sometimes also
used with non-normative meaning; this non-normative usage can be
confusing and it is better to restrict the RFC 2119 words to be used
solely as normative directives.
Happily, natural languages permit variation in phrasing, so that
meaning can be retained without use of this otherwise-normative
vocabulary. For such situations, this document provides some
alternatives to the normative vocabulary of RFC 2119.
