RE: RFC 2119 terms, ALL CAPS vs lower case

Remind me:
Is bold must more or less compelling that underlined must. And where does 
uppercase MUST fit in?

I fear the slightly richer publication format will give rise to a slightly more 
complex revision of RFC 2119.

Although I too dream the impossible dream, I would prefer not to trust
in formatting to enforce the semantic distinction in this instance.
