Having thought a little more about this, I am wondering about
unintended consequences in the 5K documents that we have
written since RFC2119 was published.
If we effectively change RFC2119 as we propose, is there
a danger that readers will incorrectly interpret old text
with new semantics. T
I have no idea whether anything of significance will occur
but considering the thought put into terms like SHOULD
there exists a risk that would be mitigated if we picked
a new RFC number whereupon the reader would know
which definition the writers and reviewers were using.
