Re: Last Call: <draft-melnikov-smtp-priority-07.txt> (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol extension for Message Transfer Priorities) to Proposed Standard

I've used text like this before, and the IESG has never objected to
it.  One advantage with this formulation, which uses the standard 2119
text and *appends* to it, is that idnits likes it and doesn't generate
a warning.

More generally, ID-nits is supposed to be helpful. Straightjackets are not
helpful.

I absolutely agree.  And even in cases where my alternative 2119 text
has generated idnits complaints, the IESG didn't care.  They only
cared that the text accurately explained the terms the document used.
