Ah. Then perhaps the clarification needs to go a little
further and make this clear:
- We're defining specific terms that specifications can use.
- These terms are always capitalized when these definitions
are used. - You don't have to use them. If you do, they're
capitalized and their meanings are as specified here.
- There are similar-looking English words that are not
capitalized, and they have their normal English meanings; this
document has nothing to do with them.
...and I'd like to add one more, because so many people think
that text isn't normative unless it has 2119 key words in all
caps in it:
- Normative text doesn't require the use of these key words.
They're used for clarity and consistency when you want that,
but lots of normative text doesn't need to use them, and
doesn't use them.
