IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF AGREEING THAT SHOUTING IS BAD? (i.e., Burger's first
anti-law.) As opposed to mandating that requirements ought to be shouted.
Lowercase "must" can be as effective as uppercase as long as it is consistently
applied.

On a more serious note, many documents lean too heavily on conformance terms.
A gentle reminder that conformance terms ought to be sparingly used might not
go astray here. It's just like the F-bomb, it's a F-ing big deal if used
infrequently enough. People are more likely to pay attention when it's rare.
