I written this draft starting a RFC2119 update for the reasons of
discussion threads in [1] and [2]. Please check draft and feedback,
thanking you.

I agree with what Paul and Melinda have said.  This document is pointless, as 
there is no actual problem that it's solving and no misunderstanding that it's 
clarifying.  Further, it's actively *harmful*.  It's arguable that 2119 already 
reserves too many words by giving them specific, normative meanings (SHALL 
*and* MUST; SHOULD *and* RECOMMENDED).  Adding IF, THEN, and ELSE would not 
only be unnecessary, but downright *bad*.
