Thank you!
I think that markup on these keywords would help screen readers if they learn
to use the XML instead.

I have checked, and I propose this change to the draft:

OLD

   === NEW ===
   In many standards track documents several words are used to signify
   the requirements in the specification.  These words are often
   capitalized, as shown below, but they do not have to be.  This
   document defines how these words are interpreted in IETF documents
   when the words are capitalized.

NEW

   === NEW ===
   In many standards track documents several words are used to signify
   the requirements in the specification.  These words are often
   capitalized, as shown below, but they do not have to be.  This
   document defines how these words are interpreted in IETF documents
   when the words are capitalized and/or marked as <bcp14> in the
   XML source (see [draft-iab-xml2rfc], Section 2.9).

END

The reference to draft-iab-xml2rfc would be informative.  Comments?
