  | Actually, MUST was first introduced in RFC1023 two years earlier :-)

That's true, it appears there, but there it really is just a
strange typographical convention (or shouting, for emphasis).

It certainly isn't defined to mean anything special.   In 1122/3 it was.
(Further, 1122/1123 defined the terms in a very specific way, which was
highly useful - quite the contrary of what most specifications using the
things these days do).
