RFC2119 is not unclear on this point.
Correct again, it is not unclear. It says it very clear. I don't know why you
wish to ignore Tony's I-D reinforcing this concept and optional implementation:
SHOULD, RECOMMENDED: The words "ought", "encouraged" and "suggest
strongly" can be used to connote something that is strongly
urged.
When the text in 2119 is already clearly written, but people fail to read it, I
don't understand why adding more text in yet another document is likely to
improve understanding. Adding additional text and documents inherently
increases the burden on readers.
context check. The purview of the non2119-nonkeywords doc is to suggest
wording to use when *NOT* in the 2119 context.
Perhaps the paragraph in the non2119-nonkeywords docs should read:
*instead* of "SHOULD" or "RECOMMENDED": The words "ought",
"encouraged" and "suggest
strongly" can be used to connote something that is strongly
urged.
