Wonderful perennial topic. :)

As I always say when this comes up, when writing drafts I've settled
on using the 2119 keywords only in their uppercase form, and otherwise
using "need to", "ought to", "might" (etc.) to avoid all possible
confusion. Sure, it's a bit stilted, but we're not writing gorgeous
prose here, we're writing technical specifications that need to be
completely clear.
