In normative text, I don't see how "must" could occur anywhere except
where it was supposed to mean "MUST".
It occurs when describing how something happened, not what needs to
happen. Example from a current Internet Draft that is having the
capitalization fixed:
...not less than 3, but 4 is less than 5, so 4 must be the last digit.

...not less than 3, but 4 is less than 5, so 4 has to be the last digit.
There were a few places where the "must" turned into a "MUST" as a
way of specifying how an implementation of the protocol had to work.
