Re: 2119bis

Umm, wait. I'm confused.

The boilerplate in existing documents points to 2119, right? and the updated 
boilerplate would point to this spec, if approved, right? so we're not 
retroactively changing the meaning of anything, right?

What am I missing?

  I could see maybe posting an erratum or a brief update to 2119, but I think 
that reopening that document in general is a Very bad Idea.  And for existing 
documents that misuse SHOULD, the appropriate thing to do is to update those 
documents or post errata to those documents, rather than try to retroactively 
change the meaning of the keywords in those documents.
