It is solving the problem of specifications that don't specify
conditions in a easy manner that implementers/users need. Please note
that "IF THEN" is reducing the number of words in the draft as well
(more efficient). Please tell me what specification can specify a
conditional situation in less words than "IF, THEN". Many RFC don't
follow the easy way properly,
Yes but that's an editing issue. Go look at how process documentation
and state machines are handled in serious protocol RFCs. Some do use
if/then in a formal way, but some are just informative. The purpose
of 2119 is clarity of terminology. Everyone knows what "if" and
"then" mean - your concern is how they are used. The way to fix that
is in the particular drafts you have an issue with.
