fwiw - seems to me that the basic idea that MUST and must are the same
is wrong and will lead to even more confusion

imo - any clarification should (not SHOULD - i.e. the english language) say
      1/ some authors capitalize some words for emphasis and clarity
      2/ there is no requirement to use capitalized words 
      2/ when capitalized words are used RFC 2119 says what the
         capitalized words mean 
      3/ non capitalized words are interpreted using normal English 

yes, please.  please, let's not invent new semantics.
