I have checked, and I propose this change to the draft: OLD === NEW === In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized, as shown below, but they do not have to be. This document defines how these words are interpreted in IETF documents when the words are capitalized. NEW === NEW === In many standards track documents several words are used to signify the requirements in the specification. These words are often capitalized, as shown below, but they do not have to be. This document defines how these words are interpreted in IETF documents when the words are capitalized and/or marked as <bcp14> in the XML source (see [draft-iab-xml2rfc], Section 2.9).
