I agree with Ian. The point was to clean up usage of an un-capitalized 
RFC 2119 keyword that we all agree was not meant to be normative. We 
shouldn't be adding NEW normative requirements in its place.

We have not to this point had any problem getting players to apply the 
output gain by default with the current spec language (and Greg 
Maxwell's test files that tell people their player is broken if they 
don't implement this). We've had to cajole a few, but once we have, I 
believe it has been fixed in every case.
