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*.
