Ugh. Please say that in documents that reference 2119, the words have the magic meaning when capitalized, and authors should* refrain from using them uncapitalized anywhere else, to avoid confusion. I've done this for a while, and it's not very hard. With respect to the original question, understanding that the horse is now three or four counties away, I'd find it useful to use 2119 words to describe things that readers implement, so that they will interoperate with things that other readers have implemented. For situations where you have to provide X, Y, and Z to register a foo, that's different, since it won't fail by not interoperating, it'll fail by the registry sending it back and asking for the missing pieces.
